Nighthawk AX8 (EAX80) ReadySHARE USB HDD cannot write from MacOS
Hello, This is my fist post in this community. Recently I purchased Netgear Nighthawk AX8 (EAX80) extender to bring physical ports (LAN and USB) to other room, than my primary router (RAX120) is...
So after several weeks I finally received final confirmation from NETGEAR regarding this issue.
"Apparently this current issue you are experiencing is a product limitation of the EAX80 and another model of extender EAX20 that we have. The issue is with the compatibility of these extenders with the HFS and HFS+ file formats and file transferring issues. This is due to the chipset and the open source code function that the EAX80 is using which does not support the feature.
I had confirmed that other than HFS and HFS+ the following file system types are compatible with the EAX80 (read & write):
FAT16, FAT32
NTFS
NTFS with compression format enabled
Ext2, Ext3, Ext4
XFS
"
