the model of my router is the tenda ac1200 adsl2+ dual band modem router

and I setup storage service so i can plug a 750gb external hard drive into the usb port on the back, now it shows up and i copied a song to test it was working but I tried to copy a movie over onto it and it started copying but dropped speed all the way down to 0 kbps nothing basically and I have noticed that the internet cuts out and the router restarts why is this ? have I set it up wrong please need help and would like to use usb file storage because I dont need to power an entire nas for this just for streaming movies and music etc.

thank you for any replies in advance :)

Many routers still have significant trouble handling this.
Three is really nothing you can do.

If you do not need speed then I would suggest getting a raspberry pi, do a basic setup and plug your usb hard drive into it.
You will be limited to 100mbps speed over network, and usb 2.0 read/write speed but for media playback (even h.265 4k) that is fully sufficient
