I have dug out this old router from a corner in the house and install the current build r64210 (Mar 31 2026). The router was setup as a station bridge.
But when I inserted a 16GB USB drive (with LED on one end) into either USB ports, the LED on the USB drive did not glow; it seems no power is on the usb port. Also, no disk info was shown on the Service > USB page. The USB drive was working fine on a Windows machine with LED lighted up when inserted.
I would love to hear how to make the USB drive working on the router?

Here are the sys logs, when the USB drive is inserted and removed from the front and back USB ports:

The issue has been fixed in r64533. Following the Updated Instructions on the USB Storage page, I can access the USB drive inserted on the router from a PC. Awesome and thank you.
