This thread is SOLVED. I have requested Moderator mark it so. Turns out, XR500 Readyshare is compatible w/ W11. I just fixed it, but don't know exactly how I did it. If you are having the same problem I did, don't give up. It's all hidden in there somewhere within W11. Good luck.

Thank you. Will give that a try. Can you answer the question? ... W11. Private network on, Public on (both on) or Private on, Public off? Unlike W10, W11 CAN have both on. Sorry, but I don't get it.

If you're referring to your above screenshot, that's different but you've got all that set to allow what you want anyway, maybe too much even - as far as selecting between Private & Public there is only the two options, not a Private & Public option as far as I am aware.

I'm giving up on W11/Readyshare. Cannot find a solution. I THINK it worked a long time ago, but not sure.
W11, unlike W10 can have both Public and Private settings. I just found this out tonight .... thank you CrimpOn
