USB Devices Mounted on an Archer AX50 are Read Only from Windows 10

A USB device mounted on an Archer AX50 can only be accessed READ ONLY and appears as a Media Device from Windows 10. There does not seem to be any way to copy files to the USB device from Windows 10. I would loved to be proved wrong, but this was confimed by a TP-Link supprt person via their chat utility.

Works for me.
Try this.
1. Double Click "this pc" icon on desktop.
2. Type the following in the explorer bar:
\\TP-Share
3. Press "enter". You should now see your shared usb drive.

it might be the Windows 10 PC thats having a (software configuration) problem.
I have the AX50 router and I'm running Windows 10 v2004 build 19041.329 and it is able to read/write to the USB drive hooked up to AX50.
the USB drive was formatted with eXFAT and the AX50 is on firmware 1.0.8 Build 20200426 rel.65338.
You might need to check the SMB settings on Windows 10 since a recent update disabled it for security reasons. Below is an article about it.

I hope you'll be able to make it work.
