C7 HDD Format (exFAT) Support
Region : Greece
Model : Archer C7
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version : 3.14.3 Build 150427 Rel.36706n
ISP : forthnet
Hi,
I purchased this router, and the issue i encountered is that it cannot see HDDs formated in exFat.
I have tried using a NTFS formated drive and works fine, but the problem is i desperatly need exFAT disks.
Why? Because in my house he have both MACs and PCs, and since last cant even "see" HFS+ disks ( i think this router also doesnt support this format aswell), Macs cant write in NTFS drives and the 4Gb filesize limitation of FAT32 is an issue, the only viable option for external drives for me exFAT.
Plus, it seems silly to support the floppy-disk-era FAT32 and not its successor exFAT.
Any thoughts from the devs if this is going to be added, or any other workarounds i can try (other firmware etc)?
Thanks in advance!
