I just purchased a Nighthawk R7000 router in the hopes that it would play nice with my Ready NAS NV+ RND4000v3. I have had a lot of trouble over the years getting time machine to work reliably with the NAS. I was hoping that compatible equipment from Netgear would make this easier but so far my nighthawk doesn't specifically recognize the NV+. Are there settings in the frontview that I can change to make the NAS more reliable? SHould I remove passwords or quotas?
thank you in advance

To be really honest, it is time to upgrade your NAS. You just bought a modern router with 802.11ac technology, 3x3, dual band, all the great spec and all the great features. I am really not sure if the ReadyNAS NV and RND4000 are good pairing for the router. (Forgive me for using a word that will come up often over the weekend, pairing, like wine and cheese, or slim cut shirts and baggy jeans).

A good entry model would be RN212. That will do a great deal of Plex streaming, excellent backup of all your personal data, with built-in public cloud backup tools for Dropbox, Amazon Cloud (at this moment my personal favorite because of its unlimited capacity for a Prime account user), Google Drive, etc. You connect a SLR camera to it by a USB port, the RN212 will suck all the photos and create a folder in the SHARE with a name suggestive of the camera.
All in all, a much, much better product and much better use of your time.
Good luck...
p.s. If you are nuts about streaming, go for RN420s for multi-stream HD streaming; RN520s for 4k streaming.
