something like this:
FTP (via internet) ftp://192.168.0.29:21/shares.
Where do you see that? The default local IP address of the R6220 would be 192.168.1.1
I connected HDD USB to Router and set ReadyShare and this drive is working for all devices in my LAN. I tried to set access via internet (to work outside my LAN) but there is a failure.
Have you also set up ReadyCloud? You need to create an account on MyNetgear.
