Admin Password Doesn't Work for USB readyshare drive
Admin login/password is denied when accessing a hard drive connected to the modem via USB that was read/write protected in routerlogin.net. If the drive is not protected, no problem accessing via...
My router has been working fine for over a year - able to map readyshare as a network drive with password protection using a Terabyte USB hard drive. This problem started for me a few days ago. My USB drive wouldn't even show up when web browisng to readyshare nor would it connect to any of my computers (Linux or Windows). I unplugged the drive and plugged it back in. It then showed up and worked fione for about a day. The problem was now different, the drive showed up in the administration panel of the web browser and I could use the web browser to see the files but it would not map to any of my computers. Plugging and unplugging the drive did not fix it this time. I then unplugged the drive, plugged in a USB memory stick and was able to map that. I thin unplugged the memory stick, plugged back in my Terabyte USB hard drive and it worked again, able to remap it to my computer. If this pursists I will swap out the hard drive with another one and see if that one is stable.

Is there a question in there? I can't see one.
If you do need help, you would do better to start a new question that to hitch a ride on something that started more than three years ago,
If you are just adding more details based on your experience, thanks. Perhaps it will help a later visitor.
