C6300 Readyshare doesn't show hard drives
Tried connecting over 10 different USB hard drives and none would show up on the Readyshare USB list either through the routherlogin.net or through the \\readyshare on network. I then read manual and it claims there's only about 6 compatible USB devices. I went out and bought the WD 2TB Elements on the list, plugged it in and same thing...nothing shows up. I tried then formatting drive, it was already in NTFS, but formatted it and still nothing. I've gone into advanced settings on Readyshare and checked everything, I even tried going into advanced settings and approved devices, but no devices show up on that page either. What else can I do to recognize this device?

Hello ozborn98
It should of picked it up if you formatted it and then plugged it directly into the modem it could be a issue with the usb port on the modem itself. You will want to contact support if the modem is still under warranty.
