I know this topic is kind of old, but that's what came up when I googled for the same issue.
Actually, entering \\readyshare in an Explorer window let me access the drive. Not *Internet* Explorer, just plain old Windows Explorer. The drive doesn't show up anywhere else (not under Computer, the web interface says Offline...)
It's the only way I can access it, so thank you Aurora420 :-)

I solved this problem a while ago, but it happened again today (perhaps related to the latest Windows 10 updates?). After several hours of troubleshooting, the solution was to log into the Netgear Genie app, go to the ReadyShare tab, and enable Network Neighborhood/MacShare. I had to do it without an admin password -- turning that on have me an error that a non-password-protected folder is required.
