Model: Archer C9  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: 1.3.1 Build 20171215 rel.35219(4555)

Hello, 

My ArcherC9 behaves in strange way with HHD conected to USB 3 port. At first all is fine, I have access from local network but after some time (still I haven't noticed how much) HDD goes into sleep mode and I cannot access it neither from PC in local network nor from from TP-Link control panel. Do you have similar issues? Is there any solution?

 

Cheers, 

gotman

What is the model number of the HDD? What is the capacity as well? 

 

How do you know that it goes to sleep mode? Any specific symptom? Like the LED light on the HDD itself? 

 

Does it need external power supply? 

 

Try to change another USB 2.0 port and verify whether it works as expected; or you can change another HDD and plug it into the USB 3.0 port. 

 

Good day.

It may be your PC that is putting it to sleep as part of the energy savings mode as it is just another HHD. Check your PC settings.

HDD is WD5000LPCX

When it goes to sleep the light is off and it is not available (visible) in router control panel. When I take out usb cable from the router and vonect it again everything is back for few hours (I'm still not sure how much time it takes).
