I have been successfully using this SBG6950AC2 router for a few years now and did not have any issues nor a need to access a UsB drive from the port on the device until now. I inserted the USB drive, two different ones in fact and both work fine on other machines; but my windows 11 and 10 machines in our house do not see them.
After inquiring on the net and here and following all of the instructs such as opening the router’s webpage, clicking on USB, entering the information and such; there is still no indication that a USB drive is inserted when in fact there is.
From my perspective, it appears that I should just give up and conclude ARRIS just used it as an advertising stunt to deceive customers; but low and behold, that is not me. I am here to get advice and instructions on how to make the USB port function function as it is supposed to function.
I have already tried inserting two different working USB drives, one formatted in FAT32 and the other formatted in NTFS. I have followed the routine in the router’s webpage. What else is there to do?
