ReadySHARE not working right?
Alright, to keep things simple, I have my USB device plugged into the gateway, and ReadySHARE is on. When I go to access \\readyshare, it says it isnt available, and Windows 10 specifies error code 0x80004005 (Unspecified Error).
My settings regarding USB Devices are as follows:
Advanced>Setup>USB Devices>Enable any USB device: Yes
Advanced>USB Storage>All access methods enabled
USB Read and Write Access are the admin account, which I have tried "All" to no avail.
The USB Device I am using is a 32gb SanDisk Cruzer Blade USB Flash Drive formatted with Fat32 and MBR
Please ask questions if this is not enough information.

In the advanced setting does the USB display as a connected deviced i.e. allocated a drive letter? That will tell you if the USB is recognised.
If so, note the drive name and replace "readyshare" with the IP address e.g:
\\readyshare\USB_Storage to \\192.168.1.1\USB_Storage - Your IP address maybe different to the example.
I gues you want to map a SMB share??? NFS is another way of doing this...
