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.

Thank you for all the trouble you have gone to.
Me Duma OS XR500 2,3,3,136 You 2.3.2.134 Interfaces somewhat different.
- I MIGHT have a failing router and maybe not. routerlogin.net on one of 2 W10 machines seems to work flawlessly. 2nd W10 and W11 log in but most of the screens are blank. Just about anything on the left comes up on the right, IN BACKGROUND COLOR but blank. Uhmm that would indicate a computer problem .... on 2 machines. Nuttin wong with router. I agree with that, but on my 2 newest machines??? Don't have any other problems with THEM (except W11 and Readyshare. I don't think there is something wrong with the router or those two machines and this screen rendering in DUMA. Another mystery.
- Back to original question. Is there a newer router (Netgear) I can replace this XR500 with, which allow my 2 HDDs to be accessed?
- I'm getting nowhere with W11 and Readyshare.
