RAX120 readyshare issue
I have an RAX 120 drive issue. I have an enclosure that has two separate drives. Readyshare sees both drives on is assigned the let U: and the other is assigned T:. I assign them a share name of NA...
I replied but it has seem to have disappeared.
My Router:Nighthawk® AX12 RAX120
Router Firmware Version V1.0.1.136
I have noticed 2 other issues that I have with readyshare.
1) even though I have my settings is "No Password." I am still asked for a password when trying to connect. Not cool as there isn't away to add users.
2) Readyshare SMB disappears after about 10 to 20 thousand files are transferred at 1gb transfer. This takes the most of the router down with it including the ability to access there router via http://192.168.1.1 or the app on my phone. The only thing that works is the web browsing. The only way to reliably get the router to work again is to shut it down. I use Goodsync to transfer files so I can limit the bandwidth. Not really a good way to transfer 200k of files. When you are trying to backup a failing drive as I am right now -- down to 49k and this afternoon the drive wasn't being recognized by Windows. I took a 4 hour nap and decided to plug the drive into my Mac and was able to mount it.
Thank you,

More ReadyShare woes...
I use two 3TB drives that are connect to the RAX120 as backups for my 6 systems plus numerous external USB hard drives using Goodsync and Robocopy. And, I have directories that will not copy -- on one external drive that was used to back up a system 5 years ago has 80k of files and directories that will not copy using either Robocopy or Goodsync. Goodsync says that on the ReadyShare drive that "Cannot create folder: Access is denied. (error 5)" or in the case of subdirectories when parent directory isn't created "Cannot create folder: The system cannot find the path specified. (error 3)".
Output from Robocopy:

Ended : Saturday, September 26, 2020 06:54:35The skipped files and directories are because I had already run it. The files are primarily desktop.ini and the folders are random -- usually system files. I can sometimes manually create the folders and the files without the errors however in the last experiment with trying to get the files on to the ReadyShare drives, I had 5 directories that I could not delete -- Access denied (error 5). The only way to delete them or even access them was to safely disconnect the hard drive from the RAX120 and connect it to one of my computers. The permsions on the folders were missed up so badly I had to take ownership of the directories and files and give myself permission to delete the folders. I have attached an image file that show the output from GoodSync. IMHO: The NAS drives attached to the USB ports on the RAX120 should be able to handle any file that the OS can handle.
