How is this hard drive connected? USB? How big is it? How is it formatted?
These are all important factors when working out what is going on.
It is formatted to work with both mac and windows. I forget what that is called ...3TB...and tried using the USB hub. It recognized it when I first hooked it up, but I couldn't access any files. Subsequently, now it will not recognize it at all.

Netgear's ReadyShare recognises most formats, but there are limits.

What is this "USB hub"?
just the plug in on the front of the router
ReadyShare seems to have issues with USB. For example, sometimes a drive works in a USB2 port but not in a USB3 port.
There was even a report earlier today from someone who had problems with USB drives until they replaced their Netgear power supply with something more powerful. But that was in a place where the electricity supply was dodgy.
Have you been through the relevant section in the manual?
There is a manual for your device somewhere at the end of this link:
