Hi.
Im using usingDD-WRT v3.0-r50176 std (09/15/22) on a R7800
I was checking the last fw version, and found the AFTER 53633 the usb3 is port is NOT working/recognized.
-Does the usb port fail with every router or just with some model ?
-Is it a explicit will or an unwanted bug (=why older version works) ?
-Which is the last version to flash, if someone is using a usb key with jffs ?

My guess would be all routers.
I'm seeing the same behavior on both an R7800 and on a Linksys WRT1900AC v1 (Marvell chipset). In both cases the USB2 port is non-functional and USB1 only works if it's a USB 2.0 drive. I ended up buying a cheap 5 pack of USB 2.0 64GB thumbdrives. All drives are formatted as ext2 using Ubuntu.
Haven't tried it but maybe putting a USB 2.0 hub between a USB 3.0 device and the port would work. _________________ __________________________

Screenshot of the USB tab settings below. Only difference between the two drives is the UUIDs, which I set correctly for each drive. Reboot after settings change.
Scenarios
1. Drive 1 inserted into USB2 port. Updated UUIDs and rebooted. Disk Info on the USB page shows no drive information. It's like the drive is not plugged in.
2. Drive 1 inserted into USB1 port. Updated UUIDs and rebooted. Disk Info on the USB page shows partitions mounted, but "cd /jffs" followed by "ls" shows only the Lost+Found folder. Similar results for /opt. Can't create a folder, can't copy files to the partition. No previously installed Entware programs are accessible.
3. Drive 2 inserted into USB2 port. Updated UUIDs and rebooted. Disk Info on the USB page shows no drive information. It's like the drive is not plugged in.
4. Drive 2 inserted into USB1 port. Updated UUIDs and rebooted. Disk Info on the USB page shows partitions mounted, and all files and subfolders are visible in the /jffs and /opt folders. Works as expected. _________________ __________________________

I find it unlikely 4 different routers (2 R7800s and 2 WRT1900ACs) could have the same hardware issue. In any case, USB 2.0 works for my purposes. _________________ __________________________
