There should be a menu option to uncheck and disable that feature on the modems web page.
Review the user manual to see about this feature.

C7000[v1] or C7000v2? Look for "Model" on the product label.

now? Did you connect a USB storage device (or printer) to the
C7000[vX]?Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for a
topic like 'Share USB Devices Attached to the Modem Router". Read more.

Netgear was defaulting to the "Basic" option for ReadyShare. So, I downloaded Netgear's USB Control Center and unchecked "Run Basic when windows is active". That did the job.
