connect usb hard drive to tp-link

Post by thorneo »

I have a 750 gig protable hard drive that I used on my tp-link before I flashed it with gargoyle 1.6.2 now I can not get it to connect it? how do I do this? I have a self powered 7 port usb hub connected to the usb on the router now and I have a 4 gig usb key formated "EXT4" for extra ram/rom space the portable hard drive is formated with fat32.

Have you tried it without the hub?

This came up a few weeks ago and no one had experience with using a usb hub and whether it actually worked.

Please be respectful when posting. I do this in my free time on a volunteer basis.

Yes I did. And that was still a no go. The only reason I want this drive is that it has the last 2 years of backups for my home network on it. About 7 pc's "desktop/laptop"
