A few issues with USB Ready share on C7000 modem-router
Hi, I have recently purchased this C7000, and I have had no luck with its USB ReadyShare. What happens: I connected my USB 2.0 external hard drive to the USB port and shortly after it detecte...
I have the exact same problem. When I restart the router/modem everything works fine but after awhile the readyshared USB drive disappears until I restart it again.
You are luckier than me. Ressetting worked for me for the first few days, but completely stopped. I even return the device and got another one, but the same problem.
I don't know about lucky. It only stays active for 20-30 minutes at the most... as it is now it's useless. I know it's not my computer because this happens on all the PCs in my home regardless of OS, setup, or configuration. When one get's kicked, they all get kicked. It acts as if I'm being logged out of the share. I've tried all the solutions I've found here on the Community Forum and I've had no luck. I'm thinking it's somewhere in the Netgear config or is a firmware bug. Anyway, I can't figure it out. Very disappointing!
I am disappointed too and I may return it again and buy another brand. The NetGear support was never able to give more profound alternative solutions.
I have the same problem with mine. Resetting works but after anywhere from 1-4 days, same problem.
