Hi. I am using a low powered laptop (Acer Aspire R3 R131t) to access a network drive (4 TB Seagate Expansion Plus, 3,5 inch HDD) shared by my router (Asus RT-AX88U) with qBittorrent. After starting a torrent everything works fine at first, but after a few hours qBittorrent shows an "I/O error", something like "the path can't be accessed". The torrent itself shows up as a red error and obviously stops down- and uploading. After accessing the network drive via Windows Explorer and manually starting the torrent again everything works again. This happens whether the network drive is "mapped" (assigned a letter) or not and always after a few hours, never right away.

I guess the router has some sort of timeout feature after a user is accessing the drive for a certain amount of time? Is there a way to fix this? The goal is to have the laptop working qBittorrent 24/7 obviously.
