Running 384.4_2 on RT-AC5300 and have a Seagate 3TB drive formatted as ext3.

I can use the drive on three other Linux systems and a Raspberry Pi just fine. But when I plug it into my RT-AC5300 on either USB port, it's not recognized at all. blkid returns nothing and I see nothing about the drive in the System Log. Any ideas?

Try toggling the reduce USB 3.0 interference setting under your wifi 2.4 ghz settings.
 
Wait for the router to completely boot up before plugging the USB drive in. There should be something in the syslog. If there isn't I'd suggest there's insufficient power going to the USB drive.
