The Windows 8.1 beta was released only a few days after this unit was put up on amazon in June of this year, and since then no new drivers have been released. ZyXEL support simply says "The product (AC240) doesn't support Windows 8.1. This would have been nice to know before purchasing. Microsoft recommends you upgrade to Windows 8.1, therefore, it's recommended that you do not purchase this ZyXEL product.
There is an off chance this could be caused by the USB 3 driver on the motherboard in question. But this machine doesn't experience any problems with the USB 3 hard drive that is attached to it.
