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.

What a freekin mess .... for me. There was a review I saw that said Pros and Cons of the RAX and one of the cons was 'difficult for a beginner to set up". Well, I tried and it was a disaster. It's sitting back in the pkg to go back to Amazon Monday morning. Not sure what to do. Going to return it because I don't have the expertise you do. Worn out with this Readyshare/W11 situation. Later, I will buy a RAX again, and get NETGEAR support to help me set it up. I envy your abilities ...and thank you immensely for everything. I can't mark any discussion as solved ... sorry to say. Nothing has been solved for me. Thanks again.
