Nighthawk XR500 USB Control Center not recognizing my printer
Router : Nighthawk XR500 OS : Windows 10 Printer : Samsung ML-2165 I tested the USB ports and they recognize the Flash drives, but when I plug in the printer , there is no light on the router ...
NETGEAR confirmed that the ReadySHARE Print feature was mistakenly removed from the XR500 firmware and it will be restored in the next offical firmware release. We just need to sit tight for the next XR500 firmware release.
ReadySHARE® USB to share your USB hard drive & printer is indeed a feature on the XR500, too.
To make it happen, the USB connected printer must be recognised, the USB LED must be on even without a connection over the network. Hope you are aware USB hubs are not supported, only one USB device direct connection.
Please re-post in the dedicated forum -> Home Networking -> Nightawk Pro Gaming and don't forget to include information about the installed (and current) firmware.
