I'm experiencing some problems with the router where the router doesn't detect the USB disk reliably after a power off cycle. Usually the drive is being found after some resets and power off cycles of both the router and the drive again, but I can't reproduce this behaviour. Sometimes a firmware upgrade fixes the problem and sometimes the drive is found after is has been connected to my laptop. However tonight, after I had to power off the router because of serious bad weather conditions, the router refuses to detect the harddisk. No mather what i try... When I connect the drive to my Windows XP laptop everything seems to work OK.
Is anyone experiencing similar problems? And any ideas how to reliably connect the drive to the router?
System setup:
Firmware 1.7.5.9-2
Disk: Map-H31x Series case with SpinPoint V80 Series 160 Gb harddisk
