Hi pau11y,
1. Please make sure that you have done a factory reset after the firmware update.
2. Does the issue persist when using a different storage device (another HDD, flash drive)?
3. Does the issue persist when using the other USB port?
4. Does the USB LED still light up if the issue occurs?
5. Does the issue persist on your other devices?

I have the same issue. I've done a factory reset and have tried multiple usb drives. IThe lights are flashing and I can see the usb drive when I go into routerlogin.net and go into "ReadySHARE". I created an "Available Network Folder" and it forces the "U" drive to be set. However if I go into WIndows explorer and type "\\readyshare" it can't be reached.
Going into the horrible Netgear Genie App, if I go to ReadyShare, it doesn't see the drive --- it tells me that I need to plug in a drive..even though it is lit up and accessible through routerlogin.
Hi djhurlburt,
Welcome to the community!
1. What is the firmware version of the router?
2. What is the Windows version of the computer?
3. Was it working before?
4. If you are using Windows 10, the links below may help out:
