I have an R6400 and want to connect a HDD via USB as a NAS drive
I have a Nighthawk R6400 router and have a HDD connected to it via its USB port. I want to set up Readycloud but cannot seem to do it. Advice please?
I am seeking a home grown solution to replace Google photos without the expense of a synology NAS set up. I will try a smaller USB drive. Thanks

Do you expect that to restore a ReadyCLOUD control to the BASIC >
ReadySHARE page in your router's management web site? I don't.
I'd expect the results from a smaller drive with an incompatible file
system to be very similar to the results from a larger drive with an
incompatible file system.
Of course, with my weak psychic powers, I don't know which file
system is on your "an 8TB Seagate Hub Plus", but one of us might be able
to find out by connecting it to some computer or other. It's possible
that 8TB is too big for your router firmware, but that's not the only
possible problem.
Is "an 8TB Seagate Hub Plus" anything like an "8TB Seagate Backup
Plus Hub"?
