    I have an ASUS RT-AC68U router. I connected 2 HDDs to the USB and mapped them

    The problem is, even though I did check save password, upon every restart I get a notification that the drives could not be connected until I double click on any of the 2 mapped drives, enter my password (username would already be there) then once I connect toe any of the drives the others also automatically are connected.

    This happened to me in both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1

    Do note that my network connections, everytime I double click on my Router's icon (which is the network infrastructure I believe) I must re-enter the password again

    any help please?

    Running the latest firmware: 3.0.0.4.376_1663

    FWIW I have a Linksys E3200 Router. Under the "old" firmware, I never had to re-enter the password on the routers web based interface, once I had it saved in any of my browsers. Last month I upgraded the firmware to the newest 1.0.05 (Build 2) dated 07/01/2014. Now, I must enter the password, every time I need to change the settings, even though I have the password "saved". I haven't found a way to get around this ahem... feature. :rolleyes:

    I think this is the "new normal" of all routers, because of security paranoia. I could be wrong. :nah:

    Check the ASUS release notes for the firmware version.
