Netgear 2400 usb control center - readyshare has to be reinstalled almost daily
Anyway, I am now updated. Will let you know how it goes.
Thanks again.
Didn't give us much to go off.
1. what router do you have? (model number from the label)
2. what firmware is on it?
3. what modem/gateway is it connected to?
4. what actual issue are you having? is the usb device disconnecting? whats going on in details. We're not there to see whats going on so the more you tell us, the more we can help
V1.0.1.62_1.0.41
Running Netgear USB Cotrol Center for 2 USB devices. A printer and a storage device.
When I call up the Control center nothing is there. Both devices are missing. So I have a copy of the exe file to reload the Control Center software version 1.36. I use it to delete the control Center then install. Voila, both items are back and work fine. Sometimes later the same day, or sometimes a day or two later they stop working. I call up the Control Center and both items are gone again. I do this now several times a week.

Why are you doing that?
Once set up, the unknown printer and anonymous USB storage device should need no further attention.
I never run the Netgear USB Control Center. No need.
I only open control center after I try to print and it fails. Then I open control center and see that it is blank. Opening control center does not erase items. I am wondering if an upgrade to windows or something in Mcafee could be causing it. But I would think others would be having the same issue if that were the case.

Ah. Now I understand. As plemans says, it always helps to know the underlying issue.
How are you using the printer? I assume that it is plugged into the router's USB port. But are you printing with a wired connection from the PC or over wifi?
Can you still see the USB storage when the printer goes AWOL?
