    Yes, this is a recurring theme - sadly.

     

    On MY R8000 X6 AC3200 [ firmware: V1.0.4.68_10.1.75 ], I needed to go to the 'Advanced' tab on the web management interface.  On the drop-down list of options at the left, near the bottom of the Advanced Setup section is an option labeled USB Settings.  There is only a single action item there:

    If the 'No' choice is selected, NO USB device will be recognized, ever.

     

    Hope that helps.
