Any hard drive connected to this router keeps running w/out going to power down mode causing hard drive to heat up. Is this because the router keeps reindexing the drive?

What makes you think the router is doing this?

How is this drive connected to the router? USB? Wired Erhernet?

Is the DLNA server active?

Visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

and feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

You may have done this already, but I can't tell from your message.

I am using the WD Passport 5 tb drive connected to the router using usb. What should I check on the router admin page?
