TimA:i'm having the same issue with my one when plugging in my 2.5inch 2Tb wd hardrive. It's powered by USB and works fine elsewhere. When unplug it in my internet connection drops and I also can't enable samba or FTP in the config screen. Is it a firmware issue?NotReally: Not sure if anyone has had this problem with an HG659 modem/router.
I tried plugging a USB hard drive into the HG659 and configuring via the web interface. It seemed to be easy but then the HG659 restarted, and then restarted again, and then restarted again.
I pulled the USB hard drive and all was good. The hard drive is fine when connected to a PC and was working with the previous Orcon Genius modem/router. I haven't bothered plugging it back in for 2 weeks as I want the DLM to try and get more speed from the VDSL connection.
Any suggestions?
Its the disk, Is it powered over USB?
