USB 3.0 Port - AC87U

[fletchni]

I've been having some real problems with the USB 3.0 port.

10 days ago, with a bit of luck (and being new to Asus and Merlin) I got it all working. But when I was forced to power off the router I never got it to work again (apart form 15 minutes yesterday)!

I have two USB 2.0 drives, that both work perfectly int he USB 2.0 port, but not in the 3.0 port. I even have a USB 3.0 drive (that I don't want - at this moment - attached to my router)... this is the one that worked for 15 minutes and then disappeared.

Every time I attach a drive I get this message in the log:

I'm not sure this is related to Merlin and I have read of other people having issues with this port. Changing the interference option on the 2.4ghz network doesn't seem to make any difference.

Is my router faulty? Is it something a future firmware update might address?
