Can access ReadySHARE from two computers, but not another.
Hello, all. This issue has been driving me crazy, and I can't figure it out. I've read through several similar posts, but none of the solutions worked for or applied to me. I set up ReadySHA...
Nevermind. I finally got it working.
Some other posts mentioned to change the value in:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters\
Value: AllowInsecureGuestAuth
I checked my other machine that has a fresh install of Win10, and that value doesn't even exist. So I deleted it, rebooted, and now it's working.

I set up ReadySHARE on my Nighthawk AC1900.
What router are we talking about?
AC1900 is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AC tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
Is the Model: A7000|Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi USB Adapter - USB 3.0 listed in your footer involved in this in anyway? Or did you just click the first thing that popped up when you wrote your message?
Sorry. I didn't realize I had the wrong thing selected in the dropdown. I blame it on being tired. :)
The router is the R7000. Firmware version is V1.0.11.106_10.2.100.

Windows strikes again.
