usb hdd

Hey all, Even if I'm a new user here, I've been lurking for a little while now... I just never had a reason to create a user, as I could usually find an answer to my questions. I'm starting to go crazy from my external HDD connected to my RT-AX56U (Merlin 388.2_2) constantly spinning up...

Hey there. I have an RT-AX58U with the latest Merlin. AFAIK the partition/disk(?) size is limited by Asus. But even my cheaper router can handle my 6 TB HDD and this capacity in the 21st century it's not a "big deal". Is there any way or tweak to unlock this restriction on Merlin?

I have this TUF-AX3000, similar to RT-AX3000 and current firmware version : 3.0.0.4.386_41700. The USB HDD was connected to the USB port on the router and I had installed Download Master in USB apps. I have another AC88U and I verified the HDD is working fine. I could view the files and folders...
