New data computer can't find the Ready-share drive on the Netgear router I purchased a windows 10 computer to store data for my intranet to reach from any computer and that works great. I cannot get that machine to see the drive on the netgear router. What am I missing? All the other computers in my home sees it just fine and each computer sees each other computer. The ONE machine I need the data backed up, can't see the USB drive on the router to store it's data. HELP, Don Prentice

Use Windows Search to find for "Windows Features", scroll down to SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing, untick the SMB 1.0/CIFS Automatic Removal, untick SMB 1.0/CIFS-Server. Only tick (enable) "SMB 1.0/CIFS-Client", [OK] and wait until things are updated. Now the ReadySHARE should be basically workable.

  Only SMB Direct is checked, none of the others were. :(

To me this points at the Windows 10 PC as the source of the problem.

Tried running its network troubleshooter in Windows 10?
