Archer A20 persistently losing network drives on Windows 10
Hi,
I am new to TP-Link routers but not routers in general. I set up the A20 on Tuesday and all seemed to be ok. I have four networked hard drives -- two connected directly to the router, and two connected to another device. They were consistently visible when I used my previous router (a Netgear).
Starting sometime yesterday, the router is constantly losing connection with all four drives on Windows 10. Sometimes they will come back after rebooting, only to lose them a few hours later. It doesn't matter if they're lettered "shared" drives or just appearing under Network.
I made sure all three SMB boxes are checked under Turn Windows features on or off. I have run the Windows networking troubleshooter.
I use these drives all the time and not having access to them is a deal-breaker (my iTunes library is on one of them).
Can anyone help? I'd really like to keep this router but if I can't solve this, I'm going to have to return it, unfortunately.
