Night Hawk R7000 - ReadyCLOUD - Path to storage folder corrupted
I have been using ReadyCLOUD application with my R7000 Nighthawk router since it became available. Recently a problem arose that I have not been able to correct. I do not know what caused the...
Oldertimer here again.
Another odd situation was just noticed. The router has attached itself to my Guest network even the setup has my Primary network listed.
If the computer (wireless station, client, ...) does associate with the guest network, it depends on the guest netwrk configuration. Typically, only Internet access is granted.
The Netgear consumer routers change the LAN to the 10.0.0.1/24 network if they detect the current configured LAN does collide with the Internet/WAN side. Typical causes are either reconfiguration by your ISP, or sometimes a temporary failure of cable modems which fall-back to some 192.168.0.1/24 if they don't receive a valid configuration in time.
Check the current Internet IP address on the WAN/Internet port, of different from 192.168.0.x reconfigure the router again to the 192.168.0.1/24 (the older default) or 192.168.1.1/24 (the newer default). Then ensure your computer does connect to the normal wireless. Remove the guest network from the computer configuration, or at least untick the "connect automatically" if available.

192.168.0.1/24 = modem/router default
192.168.1.1/24 = router default.
.I started repair, but not yet finished. I will have plenty of time on the 19th.
