XR1000 Random reboots\ disconnects with USB attached
As the title suggest I am having problems with my XR1000 rebooting and disconnecting devices out of the box. I'm running the latest firmware 1.0.0.52_1.0.38 . The only time this happens is when a device is connect to the usb port. I wanted to connect a HDD to the router to act as a home server type of deal. Everything works for a little while, then nothing works, ethernet and wifi devices no longer connected to router and router no longer responsive. Eventually the router reboots and everything connects until the next fault. I am unable to grab any useful logs. I have a usb 3.0, 12TB western digital HDD connected with NTFS filesystem. I also noticed when trying to HTTPS or FTP over the internet via my ip address the most i can get is a page showing the directory. If I try to open directory i get a not responding webpage error. I tried to set ftp with my note 20 but it wouldnt login. I would really like to get this usb feature working as it would work geat with my kodi setup and well a place to store important stuff from all my computers. Without anything connected to usb router works as intended.

- This could insinuate that it is taking to much power, 12TB is pretty hefty! Do you have the router connected directly to a power outlet or through an extender? If an extender try direct to the wall and see if that resolves the issue.
The router is plugged directly into a wall AC outlet. The Harddrive also has its own power source if that is what youre asking. i would assume if it were a power thing the device would stop responding when i first plug it in and it's demanding the most power. Actuallly thinking about it, it might be when it puts the device to sleep due to inactivity?
That could well be the problem, is there any possibility that you can configure the external drive to not go to sleep after a certain amount of time of inactivity?
