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.
This is my third attempt at this reply. Apparently I had/have two issues. One I can live with temporary and one I cannot. The initial problem was loosing access to my ReadyCLOUD storage/backup folders. would not complete. R7000 was successful. Log in/mount/open (proper term?) USB_Storage was not successful. As a result I could only "Browse" the folders. Browsing reported the folders were empty, which they were not. Accessing the folders through drive U: showed me the folders were populated, but I could not work with them. Later I discovered discovered the IP address of R7000 changed as did the attached device without my intervention. The IP addresses changed again on their own. I can temporarily live with the address change but need to access my stored files. Two community member very kindly explained the possible reason for the address changes & directions to restore IP addresses. I have not been able to restore access to storage folders. I still need for this issue. Should I close my account register a new account?
