Model: Archer C2600  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1

Hi,

 

I am trying to access a hard drive pluged into my C2600's USB 3.0 port.  Sharing is enabled intthe router GUI, and I can navigate to the drive using FTP or access as streaming media player, however the drive itself does not show up in Network as it did in the past. in Windows. This means I am unable to map it to a drive letter. I have tried with several working drives and the result is the same.

 

The router is being used as a network switch and is downstream of an eero pro 6, not sure if that may be a factor? I have tried factory resetting the router and the result is the same.

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, it seems to have started working again strangely so the problem resolved itself.  No, C2600 wireless is disabled and LAN port is empty with all wired devices plugged into WAN.

 

Thanks for the help.

Is there any change made in this network or on the eero pro 6 or C2600?

 

Can we have the detailed network layout? Is the C6 working as a wireless access point? Is it connected to the eero pro 6 via LAN or WAN?

Thank you very much for the update, it's glad to know the issue is resolved by itself.

 

Just out of curiosity, do you mean all devices are connected to the C6 WAN? How is this achieved?
