And he told me that they have always been disabled since they got the ActionTec. And, thinking it was kind of funny, I quoted The Wedding Singer and said, 'Geez, you know that information would have been a little more useful to me yesterday.' Then I asked him if he was sure because they were showing up as connected on the modems config page, what people reported on the forums, blah blah like I just told you. He said the USB is disabled on the Actiontec T3200M. Thankfully I didn't have to wait long to get connected.

Nope.įinally, after I had no more hair on my head left, I chatted online with an agent from Telus Support named Jordan. I also spent time reading the manual, even looking at forums in the States to see if they could help me. Regardless, I can't, for the life of me, get it to work. I spent a number of hours into late last night and again this morning on these forums and some of you guys report that it works with Fat32 and another guy said it does work, someone said after firmware 13 he got another actiontec model to work, I thought someone said they were able to stream MP3 but not Flac but I can't remember. I fought with multiple settings, multiple combinations of configurations and no success. It did not seem to. They are both on the same workgroup as my home network. I tried with the same Admin and password as the router has as well as a different one to see if that made a difference. Both drives can be seen on that page, labeling then disk1_1 and shows the space used and free on them.

I logged into the router, Advanced settings, Storage Device info. I have tried all of this with both a Fat32 thumb drive and NTFS Hard drive. So there are a few posts by people on this forum but no one has given a definitive answer as to how to access the drive I have plugged into the back of my Actiontec Router.
