Model: Archer BE800  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.1

I have a Seagate 2TB Homecloud Drive and it has a Ethernet cable and usb option to connect.

 

I cannot get the router to recognise the drive via USB, it has recognised another smaller USB test drive i had, so the USB does work.

 

Is it possible to connect the drive to the BE800 using the ethernet cable? for file sharing or remote access?

 

thanks.

Hi  @MillyBickerton,

This sounds like a new requirement. Currently, accessing external USB devices is mainly done through the USB port.

I'll make sure to log this feature request and pass it along to the team.
