Cannot get Readyshare USB to work on my PC
I've followed the instructions, and I can see the USB on the routerlogin.net pages as well as in a browser via its IP address.
But I just cannot see it in Windows 10......
Any advice plea...
And the solution is.........
a. Click on Start button
b. Type \\readyshare.routerlogin.com, in the search box and hit enter.
c. This should open a window with one folder inside similar to USB storage.
d. Check to see if your documents are inside,
e. If so go back outside of the folder and right-click scroll down to map network drive.
f. A window should appear, then select a drive letter and click finish.
What that meant was;
"I typed Run at the Start button and there I typed \\readyshare"
Those are the instructions which came with the Router.
Since then however, as mentioned below, I found a thread on MS Answers - and typing \\readyshare.routerlogin.com in Explorer does give me my "T_Drive" in Explorer which is my USB that's in the Router.
However, I now need to figure out how to 'map' that so that everytime I go into explorer, I see that USB as a 'network' drive.
And the solution is.........
a. Click on Start button
b. Type \\readyshare.routerlogin.com, in the search box and hit enter.
c. This should open a window with one folder inside similar to USB storage.
d. Check to see if your documents are inside,
e. If so go back outside of the folder and right-click scroll down to map network drive.
f. A window should appear, then select a drive letter and click finish.
Or set it up properly in the browser interface for your router.
It will then appear as a mapped network drive in Explorer.
I mentioned twice that it would not see \\readyshare - neither Netgear's written instructions worked nor yours.
I took the trouble to help others with the same problem by giving the correct solution that finally worked for me.
No need to thank me.
In other words, you eventually followed the instructions on page 71 of the manual.
But that is not as thorough as following what is on page 74.
