Why can't I write files to USB drive?
Region : China
Model : Archer C7
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version : 3.14.1
ISP :
I attached a 120GB external usb 2.0 drive to the usb port on my Archer C7, I could neither read any files on it nor write anything to it.
It does show a TP Link location in my network in Windows explorer, and when I click on it it shows 4 folders titlled Browse Folders, Music, Video, and Pictures, but they are all empty, and when I try to copy/paste anything into them the red circle-with-slash symbol shows and I'm not allowed to write anything.
I also attached a 16gb usb 3.0 flash drive, this time a video that I had copied onto the drive did show up, but it still won't let me copy anything onto it.
What am I doing wrong?
Is there any way to configure things so that I can read and write files to attached usb storage, and create my own file system on them?
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!
