On Macs, Time Machine backups fail as well.  Down grading to .32 fixes the problem.  SMB works to access the drives, but Time Machine fails to see them.

    Confirmed!

    Firmware 1.0.2.36 broke USB storage over 2GB file copy/move/play availability.

    I tried downgrade to 1.0.2.28 and USB was not recognized anymore at all.

    Dear Netgear please fix this ASAP.

      Remember, if you have problems, factory reset after every firmware flash, especially when you "downgrade". A painful nuisance, but often successful.

        Any updates from Netgear on getting this fixed?  It has rendered my network drive mostly useless.
