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.
Aha. That explains it.
For future reference, there a manual and other support material for the R7000 somewhere at the end of this link:
>>>> R7000 | Product | Support | NETGEAR <<<<
If you haven't checked there already, see if you have the latest firmware for your R7000. ReadySHARE is one of those things that gets tweaked from time to time, usually with security fixes.
Thanks for the link - I've downloaded the 196 page manual :)
(hopefully should help sort out my final issue I'm having - networking a wireless pc (i.e. not via ethernet cable)).
Many thanks.
It is a pity that Netgear, and others, long ago abandoned providing a CD with software and a manual.
If you haven't got the latest firmware yet, get in there quickly, before you have got everything working as you want. New firmware often requires a complete factory reset, which is a beast because you usually have to reconfigure the thing all over again.
The good news is that setting up wifi is usually easier than setting up ReadySHARE, which is horrid.
Thanks, I have the latest firmware, did that twice this week (once as soon as I got it on Monday, and another update again today).
