Writing to hard drive connected to router?

[actonca]

I have two hard drives hooked to my router/modem (Arris SBG7600AC2). The hard drives use a Fideco dock. When I connect the dock directly to my MacBook Pro, I have no issue reading or writing to both hard drives. When I attach them to the router and connect to them using the "Connect to Server" function, I can only read them using either smb or ftp.

Here's the "Get Info" screen for one of the hard drives. Any idea what I need to do to be able to write to these drives using WiFi? I recently upgraded to the Arris router from an Airport Express, where this was a non-issue. Thanks for the help.

2 things -
Does that router support writing to Apple file systems (either APFS or HFS+, whichever that drive is in)?
When you set the drive up on the router did you give full access?

Yes, I gave full permissions when setting up the router. I haven't found anything in the router's manual to suggest one way or the other about supporting Apple's file systems.

It's possible that only certain formats are supported. You might test with exFAT.
