This router only has 1 USB port. I have a single drive attached to the USB port. In Windows 7, I am mapping to the USB drive attached to the router.
However, it appears the router is changing the name of the volume from SDA1 to SDB2 indiscrimminately. As a result I have to keep changing my mapped network drive settings.
What can I do to keep the router from changing the volume name?

@Kevin_Z Updated to latest (firmware version 1.1.3 Build 20210519 rel. 50598(4555), but the router still changing USB drive letters. The most annoying thing is that changes occur while using, like watching some video file.

I found a workaround:
In Router setup: Basic>USB Settings>Folder Sharing> Turn off "Share All". Specify some folders to share. Now you don't have sda or sdb drive/folder in the first place. Shorter network name, no drive letter switching. Hope it helps.

In response to ZHANAS workaround,
For me, this is my version info:
On my system, after logging into the router, I have to select ADVANCED tab from the top, and than on the left column, choose USB Settings/Sharing Access.
I did have the SHARE ALL toggle, which I turned off.
Than I:
- Clicked on +ADD
- Clicked Browse.
- Chose the top level drive/folder so it would select the whole drive.
- Than I named the folder SDB1, so all of my existing mapped drives would match....at least that is my hope.
So far, so good. I will check back after a few days of testing. I have a few other machines to check as well.
