There is nothing to screenshot. I have a D drive, it disappears without any message and surfaces again later as well. It seems the NAS is quity busy, but I don't have a clue what it is doing.

Anyway I disabled the iSCSI drive and attached an external hard drive which is now working just fine.

    What Orbi model do you own? I use the RBK50, and haven't run into any recent issues (though I use it in router mode with ethernet backhaul).
