My DIR882 will not power. Buffalo SSD that is 1TB. The same drive works perfectly on my old dLink router. It also works perfectly even on a non powered USB hub. Support is claiming the router is not made to support a drive larger than 500mb. This seems incorrect and is not mentioned in the specs.
 I suspect I have a defective router that is not powering the USB port to spec.

To be in spec the front USB 3.0 port  should provide 5V / 900mA power ( the USB port on the back is USB 2.0 so only 500 mA @ 5V ) to compatible USB 3.0 devices , so if yous SSD is under 4.5 W of power consumption on it's spec sheet it should work ; anything above that and it's a dice roll if it will work or not.
My unit worked with a spinning rust 300 GB HDD which as far as I remember had a max power draw of 7.5 W (although there were random glitches/discconects from time to time during long sustained writing sessions).

Try using a power adapter with the 1Tb USB drive. Larger sized USB drives sometimes need there own power as they draw more power than some routers can give

Also test the router out with a smaller sized drive to be sure the router is working. Something 500gb or less.
