USB External Drives not recognised on Readycloud but are available on LAN
Hi - I've got the RAX120 router and have set readyshare up. It has two drives attached, both of which are accessible on the LAN from all devices. The two drives *were* also visible via readycloud and ...
Hi Boris,
That is a known issue - see firmware notes. What firmware version are you running?

- Hi - thanks for replying. I am running the latest firmware ie the one your link took me to.
There is an alternative by using NETGEAR DDNS (dynamic DNS). Take a look in the router admin page. Go to Advanced tab ->Advance Setup->Dynamic DNS. It is free to set up. You'll be able to access USB content via https://<name>.mynetgear.com/shares, where 'name' is something such as 'boris', https://boris.mynetgear.com/shares. It will be secured with your admin credentials. Read the manual below. I use an app on my Android phone and I am uable to access and upload files (and make folders) with the app when I am away from home.

- Many thanks for the information- I'll certainly take a look.
Really I'd like to have what was working without issue back working again. The router was bought just a few weeks ago and a key reason why we bought it was for the readyshare feature.
It just seems extraordinarily that something that was completely fine suddenly stops for no apparent reason. Nothing in our setup has changed. Bizarre.
