driver crashing all computers
the ready share printer utility (netgear usb control center) has a very old driver that is crashing all the PCs to the blue screen this is creating continuous which might lead to permanent damage...
Instead of using the printer utility you could hardwire the printer into windows and use windows own built in printer sharing utility.
no used to face a lot of issues with that
most of the times the printer never got detected on the network
so started using the usb on the router for the printer which works flawlessly but the driver of the readyshare software is creating a mess

Which driver is that?
Where do I find it in Windows?
If you mean the USB Control Center, it works fine here. Version 1.83.0. Not a crash in siight.
netgearUDSTcpBus.sys
this is the fileusb control center works for me also but the above file linked with this usb control center is causing the crash

No crashes here.
Did you realise that the R6120 is a very basic router? They do'nt come much cheaper. I hope you don't have Internet anything faster than 100 Mbps. The router can't handle it.
According to Netgear's manual for this device, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. That makes it slower than many newer Internet services and most modern network hardware. This may not matter to you, but be warned that it will hobble you if you ever sign up for faster Internet. It also slows down whatever is going on in your local network. Newer devices support 1000BASE-TX.
I doubt if that has much to do with the crashes, but it can't help.
