Shortly after saying this was solved as the files in USB Control had not mysteriously disappeared for awhile, it just happened again. This is not solved. Still no idea why I have to reload the app on a regular basis to use my printer and mass storage. Certainly annoying. I keep a copy of the Ready Share Printer set up handy. It is a 2 step process. One time through to delete the old, a second time through to reinstall.

As discussed earlier in this conversation, the original idea that you need to install and run the Netgear USB Control Center to use anything is contrary to my experience.
Storage devices, which I assume means ReadySHARE is managed completely on the router. See the section in the manual Share USB Storage Devices Attached to the Router.
Likewise a printer, as explained in the manual in Share a USB Printer
If these are set up correctly, then you should never see the NETGEAR USB Control Center. From this, I deduce that these settings are where to look for problems, not the USB control center.
