Q: AirPort Extreme slow after plugging in 3 TB hard drive

I have a new AirPort Extreme and everything seems to be working well until I plug in my Wester Digital 3 TB USB hard drive. The router then becomes unresponsive and I can no longer access it through the AirPort Utility. Once I unplug the USB hard drive it becomes responsive again.

 

The hard drive is formatted ExFat so it can be read by both Apple and Windows devices. When I plug the hard drive into my Mac, everything on the hard drive seems just fine.

 

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong here?
