I am stumped on this one and figured I would ask around...

I was swapping an Asus RT-AC68U for a RT-AC1900P which is almost an identical router, but with a faster processor. The swap goes well and everything works except Windows is adding the location inside parenthesis to the USB Drive folder name. The USB Drive is connected directly to the router USB 3.0 port.

Example:
Old Location: \\RT-AC68U\Cloud
New Location: \\RT-AC1900P\Cloud (at Seagate Backup blah blah)

I can not access it via \\RT-AC1900P\Cloud and I confirmed the folder name to still be correct. So Windows is adding the (location) info to the path.

Anyone come across this before or know a fix. I have programs that access this folder and I was just going to rename the new router to RT-AC68U so I don't have to update all the programs to the new location.

Thanks.

UPDATE: It ended up being a firmware issue on the router in case anyone runs into this. Flashing the firmware corrected the issue.
