C3700 Deafult ReadyShare Password Not Working
I'm trying to utilize my brand new C3700's ReadyShare feature for a very basic NAS. My goal is to implement password protection on the network folder, but when I do so, I cannot access the files usin...
ruijay, I was able to resolve the issue by doing a factory reset. The first thing I did after the reset was setup the password for ReadyShare and everything worked fine.
That being said, before the reset, I saved my router's configuration because I have numerous MAC addresses in the Setup Access list and there's no easy way to export the addresses. I restored my settings after I confirmed that the factory reset solved the password issue because I didn't feel like typing in the MAC addresses again. Alas, the password issue popped up after restoring my settings. One of these days when I have the time I'll do a factory reset and input all the MAC addresses so I can utilize ReadyShare's password feature.

Thank you dbrits for responding.
So right after I did factory reset, I set up my NAS with admin access and made sure it worked with the default user/password. After that I went ahead and change the router password and set my wireless, access list etc...
I hope others who have/will have this usse can find your post
Thanks,
