Hello everyone,

I am experiencing a very frustrating issue with my TP-Link AX3000 4-Stream Wi-Fi 6 Router and an external USB hard drive.

I have a 4TB hard drive connected via USB to the router, and I am trying to view the multimedia content on my TVs using the router's Media Server/DLNA function.

The Problem: Not all folders and files are appearing on my TVs. I have never encountered this problem before, and I don't know what is causing it.

Details of the Issue:

  • The hard drive is 4TB, and I have always been able to see all the files previously.

  • I can only see the content I need on my TV by manually selecting and deselecting folders one by one within the router's USB/Media Server settings.

  • If I select all the shared folders in the router settings, only two folders are displayed on the TV. This is very confusing and frustrating.

  • I can see all the folders and files correctly when accessing the drive from my computers (via SMB/Samba), but I need to be able to use the TV's media player.

  • I have looked through the router's menu, but I can't find any additional configuration options to fix this.

It's a complete hassle having to constantly go into the router settings to select/deselect folders just to view specific media content on my TVs.

Has anyone else experienced this with the TP-Link AX3000 or a similar router? Any advice on how to get the Media Server to properly scan and display all the selected folders would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I had a similar problem (BE230) but i fixed it by buying an Apple TV 4K and installing the Infuse app on it.

  @rane61 Thank you for your response, but I believe there must be another solution. I have many latest-generation televisions at home and I have never had any problems until now… I hope I won’t have to buy five more devices. Llorando
