That,  linke in most routers are to support Hard Drives.

 

See the USER MANUAL @ https://www.tp-link.com/us/user-guides/archer-a7&c7_v5/usb-settings-us-4.0 and I don't even think it supports routers.

 

In addition, the External Hard drives have to be formatted properly, usually NTFS, and should be sellf-powered, not the type that draws power from the host.
