Readyshare is not accessible.
Running windows 10, and had a major update yesterday and lost all my Network connections. was able to remap all my drives except my readyShare Drive. every time I try to remap it. I get an error ...

Found a solution:
go into user account in control panel
if you're in windows 10 select manage your credentials this will open 2 options
web credentials and windows credentials
head to windows credentials and add a new windows credential
enter the location of the drive \\readyshare on the first line
your windows user name in the second line
your windows password in the third line
and you're done, you should see the drive under network and be able to access it as before
good luck

This seems to be working for everyone else - maybe I'm not doing this correctly.
For network address I am just typing in "\\READYSHARE" and for username "admin" and password is my password to get into readyshare per usual.

No, No ,No username and password are for your Computer's Username and window's password, not your routers'. It's going to be whatever you use to sign into your computer when you turn it on.

Did this and stil unable to access. It is now wanting credentials and I use the WIndows UID and Password it says it is not valid. Am I doing something wrong? I am using a micosoft account to log in, does it need to be a local user?
