External Hard Drive connected by USB via Router
Model : Archer C3200
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version :
ISP : Telus
I have a Western Digital 8TB External Hard Drive. I have a TP-Link AC3200 router. I am trying to connect my external hard drive to my router but it keeps disconnecting (eventually over a few hour period or more). I set up my Plex Media Server account to use the external hard drive this way, iTunes as well, and of course my iMac. I have tried to connect the hard drive to both the USB to the 3.0 and 2.0 port. Both same issue. Is there something I need to do to keep this connection stable? Or is there something with having an external hard drive connected to a router making it not work properly. Any help would be appreciated!
