I have just installed my AXE5400 Tri-Band 6E router and attached an external USB drive to it using a 3.0 USB Hub.  Only the one USB device is attached to the hub.  Initially the device showed up in my network as a media device and following some instructions I found on the Internet,  I signed on to the router and turned off Media sharing and turned on Secure Sharing.  Now there is no network device showing at all other than my router.  I thought I followed the instructions I found at "https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/253/" correctly to get to my device - but it didn't work, but now I'm stuck.  I come seeking guidance as to what I did wrong.  The drive was there initally as a media device and when I tried to make changes to use as it is intended it dissappeared. What the heck did I do to mess this up, it should be so simple.   Thanks in advance for your help.

All advice and guidance is appreciated,

Joe
