On a Technicolor TG799vac (Telstra - software version 15.3, firmware version 15.53.6467-510-RA, hardware version VANT-F), I had problems recognizing a specific model of USB flash drive (FAT32 filesystem) I was trying to use as network storage, but this function worked OK with two other USB flash drive (FAT32 filesystem) models I tried.
The questionable flash drive (Dyna Store PA5168A-2MAB) was checked for errors (none were found) and it did previously work on a Netgear WNDR3700v2, and the significant technical details of the flash drive are:
Device Name: Mass Storage
Device Type: Mass Storage
Description: Generic Flash Disk USB Device
USB Hub: No
Vendor ID: 058F
Product ID: 6387
USB Class: 08
USB Subclass: 06
USB Protocol: 50
Power: 200 mA
Capabilities: Removable, Unique ID, Surprise Removal OK
The two other flash drives which worked OK with the router had a different Device Name, Description, Vendor ID, and Product ID.
So therefore, it appears that some routers can be a bit picky with USB storage devices, even though they do not have security functions and/or require specific drivers.
