RT-AC88U sees all USB3 disks as USB 2

[Wulfie]

I just purchased this router, before i return it, i was wondering if anyone had same issue. I am running Merlin firmware 384.9, and any and all USB disk/pen etc show up as USB 2. I read in other forums something in the 2.4 wireless settings to disable usb inteference. I cannot find that in the professional section. If anyone can advise me, I was thinking of loading up the stock firmware to see if it resolves. Rgds.

Please do a full reset to factory defaults after installing RMerlin firmware. See the links below.

I dont use the usb drive, but it looks like to be the hardware id rather than the usb type.

If you plug it into different usb port, it will most likely to be listed as usb #, the # will be the identifier for hardware

again,I dont use it, someone else can clarify it

It does indeed appear to only be using the USB 2 driver. At the risk of asking an obvious question, are you sure you've got it plugged into the USB 3 socket? Only one of the two sockets supports USB 3.

Apparently the option to reduce USB interference has been moved to the System Administration page (it's called "USB Mode" now).

Don't worry, I did the same thing on an RT-AC3100 the first time too... in front of the customer!
