Fritzbox keeps renaming my WD drive

Hello! I have a WDMybook attached to a Fritzbox 7390 router. Normally, I have it mapped as \192.168.178.1\fritz\WD-MyBook1110-01. Sometimes, I find it renamed to \192.168.178.1\fritz\WD-MyBook1110-11 or even -21. It’s now happening quite frequently, and it’s quite annoying.
I’m wondering whether anybody had seen anything similar.

I’ve already tried many things on the fritzbox, and nobody on Fritz forums has any clue.

All suggestions are welcome, thanks!

Marco

For the record, the probable causa was some damaged sectors on the HD, which caused periodic disconnections. Still not clear why the Fritz renamed the disk each time, though.
