I am experiencing some weird problems with the WZR-HP-G300NH and a WD Elements Desktop 1TB USB hard drive.
Sometimes the router just can't recognize the drive at all, displaying just the notorious "No recognizable devices connected" message on the NAS page of the router admin interface. When the drive is shown, though, it can be accessed from my Windows box just fine - and here's the catch - for a while. Then, after some time, the drive just becomes inaccessible and has disappeared from the router.
When connected to the computer directly, the drive works just fine.
I have formatted the drive as XFS using the router's own format tool.
Are there any known incompatibility issues between these two devices? Wich external hard drive would work better, if any? Do I have a faulty router?
