About a week ago the USB share through SMB function on my AX73 router started to suddenly disconnect at random. At first it only happened once every day or so but now it happens 4 or 5 times a day. If I leave it long enough it will reconnect in an hour give or take a bit. Or I can go to the admin page for my router and look at the USB Storage page, just looking at it causes it to reconnect. By disconnect I mean that attempting to view the files on the share through Windows explorer or attempting to play a movie through VLC on my TV gives a share not found error.

I thought at first it might be that my old hard drive was dying (it turns out this was true) but I replaced it with a new 2TB ssd last night and the problem restarted today in the afternoon.

The entry before this is from several hours earlier and has nothing to do with the disconnection that occurred at approximately 17:27:00.
