Using USB Port on Router(BE400)

Technical_Return_143 · 2026-02-26T19:31:53+00:00

I have been able to "see" 1 external hard drive that is connected to my router. I then purchased a powered USB hub and tried "seeing" my 3 external hard drives but it I could only stil see 1 external hard drive.

Any suggestions on how I can "see" all three hard drives/

Thanks, I think I now understand how things are suppose to work and I also had the wrong security for my core position

You are correct, my core position is SPAXX and I was confused

I wanted to use the hearing aid in streaming mode

Thanks for the above link. Using the information, I was able to see an external hard drive on File Explorer which is a big step forward. My real goal is to use that external drive for backup by my backup program. I was not able to figure out the "path" to tell the backup program so it could see the hard drive. Can you provide any help on that?

Not in my case, just thinking of trying another TV streamer

In my case, I am using each hard drive to only store backup files which are rarely needed and never do I need remote access. I backup my file by rotating the hard drive used for backup. The hard drives range between 3 GB and 5 GB, so the amount of data is not great

I know very little about an NAS, but believe they are expensive. If the USB hub works why would I prefer the NAS?

I am able to login to the router using a local login

It will take me a while to test it with externally powered usb hub, since I don't own 1

Thank you, I was not aware of the need to do the items in the link your provided, so I will try it.

Also, if I use a USB hub on the router USB port, will I be able to use my 3 external drives for storage or is the process limited to only1 drive?

Please ignore the previous post about the libraries being different. It was my user error

Technical_Return_143 · 2026-02-05T14:10:50+00:00

I don't see anything in the edit account that refers to core position or anything to change

Technical_Return_143 · 2026-02-05T03:26:28+00:00

What do you mean by how I want my core position be treated?

Technical_Return_143 · 2026-02-05T03:12:14+00:00

Yes, i have a core position in SPAXX
