RAXE500 - Network USB Doesn't Work
I just connected my RAXE500 and wanted to set up the USB drive on readyshare that I previously used on my older Nighthawk but it doesn't seem to work. I went to the Advanced settings and shut off all...

I'll check that when I get on next. Rough few days didn't even think of that.

No dice. I even turned off the firewall on private to try.

Is the router using 192.168.1.1 as its IP address?
- JaegerOmegaFeb 02, 2022AspirantYeah when I type it in, it brings me to myroutlogin.net

Do you have any applications running such as private internet access or other commercial VPN software (even if they are set to allow LAN traffic)?
For some reason it seems like your system is behaving as if the network discovery service is not running. - JaegerOmegaFeb 02, 2022AspirantNo. It's also the same on multiple home machines.

Did it work before any changes to the share name took place? If it is happening to multiple systems, it may be worth doing a factory reset.
- JaegerOmegaFeb 02, 2022AspirantDidn't try. But did work on my old nighthawk before connecting this one.
- JaegerOmegaFeb 02, 2022AspirantInterestingly I can see the RAXE500 device under Network Locations. When I click on it and then click Browse Folders I can see the network drive folders...
- JaegerOmegaFeb 02, 2022AspirantNevermind it's not doing it anymore :(

So I have been fighting with this all night. My network "folder" is \\cloud\backup and the network folder is "U". That's supposedly root of the drive. When I even try to select another folder, it is never written to the "folder name" field.
I think there must be a bug in this firmware version (latest V1.0.8.70_2.0.36). I am able to navigate with my file explorer to \\cloud where it does show \backup and even any other shared folders I create but when I try to access it, it says it can't find the location. I even tried through http/ftp and again I am able to get to 'cloud' and see the 'backup' folder but when clicking on the backup folder I get a 404. - AltsaiFeb 08, 2022NETGEAR Expert
