AC4000 (A20) USB share problem
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I hooked up an 1TB external drive to an USB 3.0 port and was not recognized by the router but when connected to USB 2.0 port it worked just fine.
I worked well when it was connected to Archer A2600 USB 3.0 before. How to fix it?

I've got an A20, but a V1, not V3. I've got a WD 4TB External Desktop version connected to a USB 3.0 port and it works fine?
Some 'portable' USB drives take power from the USB port while the Desktop versions have their own power supply. If you have a Portable it is possible the router might no be able to provide enough power to it? USB 3.0 I recall need 870ma while the USB 2.0 only requires 500ma?
If you do have an external with a power supply, does the light on the drive work? Have you another cable you can try? Is there anything blocked the connection in the 3.0 port?

@IrvSp I have 1TB drive sitting in HDD dock with USB3.0 which is connected by USB3.0 cable and powered separately, so there should be no issue. At least there was no issue with older router.
