Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? A complete pull of the power adapters for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch with a wired PC and web browser. Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200.

Hi. Thanks for the suggestions.
I probably should have added that I have attempted various flavors of Reset/Restart systems and components.
I was probably less than clear that although the NAS (SSK SSM F-100) advertises itself as DLNA and UPnP capable; it isn't really capable of doing so.
You "can" cast a (singular) video or a (singular) picture by activating the DLNA feature on the SSKCloud cell phone app. This is by far way too tedious to be useful.
I was hoping that someone knew of a way to get the Netgear Router (and thereby the reasyShare DLNA Server) to see the contents of the NAS.
I am thinking that this is not going to be feasible without dumping drive contents to a USB stick.
Small note: I have found that the Netgear Router does not interface very well with 2 different 2TB USB HDD devices that I own.

Ya thats not possible. Anything on NAS is considered a external source. The ReadyNAS and Share and such require the USB attached storage device.
I would inquire about the NAS having it's own sharing abilities and such with the Mfr. May have something there.
- Chris156Mar 18, 2023AspirantThank you.
Even negative confirmation is better than beating my head against a wall. Thanks!
