I am not sure if you guys are aware but Microsoft dropped support for SMBv1 in latest Win 10 Fall Creators Update so if your ReadySHARE implantation is using SMBv1 you will have issues with accessing your drives. Netgear has a FW update coming for the N450 that will fix this issue. Your ISP will push the update when it became available as each cable FW has to be certified/approved by ISP before the ISP will push it out. This issue is will occur on all devices that do not have SMBv2/SMBv3 support not just Netgear N450 device.
