Does RAX120 replace XR500
Please forgive the bold text.
Not a router expert. Have to replace XR500 (incompatible with W11) with something as close as possible .... particularly USB ports for HDDs to be seen on home ne...
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.
Yes, Sir. The subject has moved on. My apologies to the Moderator. Again, your technical expertise far exceeds mine.
My understanding of Windows 11 is that the Firewall is always "on" for 'Local' and 'Public' connections.
Welp, first of all, I have been saying both can be on at the same time. Does not appear to be true ... ONE OR THE OTHER. (old age). Here is what I have now:
Confusion ... public, private, local, recommended, W10, W11, MICROSOFT(!). W11 was NOT my idea and I hate it. Is that the right choice (yes or no)? Thank you again.
Up to you what to use and do. I've been using Private Network.
Some day Win11 24H2 is hosed up and bugged:
What I found here and posted some on:
At this point, not sure if MS will fix any of this on Win11/24H2. Seems that Win10 was working and not a problem. But thats no longer being supported as it's going EoL. Up to you if you still want to use it. I still have a dual boot Win7/Win10 PC that still works for me if I need it.
I'll get my XR500 online this week and see if this reproduces on mine.
Thank you for the link. Diligently went through all the suggestions but unfortunately no fix.
Netduma-Fraser So I loaded the last current release FW on top of what I had loaded which was a beta from your site and now I'm getting this when I attempt to access the network share as i had previously did with the beta version loaded:
I disabled ReadyShare Storage and Media Server, then re-enabled both and still has not resolved. I presume there is something changed in the current released FW from the beta that I had loaded prior. Any chance you can take a look or have someone check this? Or do we need to get with NG on this? DarrenM BH_C
