Has the Router and USB drive been fully powered OFF for 1 minute then back ON?
Try a factory reset on the Router with the USB drive disconnected from the router. Complete the setup then power OFF the router. Connect the drive and turn ON the router. See if the drive appears.

the unplug did the trick.. except now it doesnt want to find the shared folder, despite it showing the shared folder
aka:
Click on readyshare in my network list
shows my shared folder
i click on said folder, and it says the path wasnt found

if i try to make a new shared folder, it blanks the box out and doesnt allow it.. if i try to select an existing folder, it wont register it being picked

ok i finally got it to work.. i had to make a folder with the same folder name it created.. for whatever reason creating a new share folder just wont work, so i have to use the one it created on its own... now i can access the files on there
