Does readyshare even work on the Nighthawk R7000? USB Drive not detected.
First off. I have at least one usb hard drive that is on the compatibility list. Windows 10 64bit and newest Netgear R7000 firmware. Cant remember the version. I bought the router about 8-10 mont...
I got it to work with a 125GB Usb Drive.
I just returned an R6400 router because it wasn't compatible with my PNY flash drive. I purchased an R7000 because the Netgear compatibility list said the PNY would work. It doesn't. The drive I want to use for network storage is a PNY Elite Portable SSD 240GB. I get no connectivity at all with this SSD. I do have some older, smaller thumb drives (2-4GB range) that work, so the USB ports are not dead.
Has anyone been able to connect an SSD (+/- 250GB) to the R7000 USB Readyshare? What brands/models/sizes really work?
I own a Netgear R6250 and decided to upgrade to the R7000. My R6250 readyshare functions flawlessly for the two usb powered drives I own. But the R7000 will not display them. Have gone into the router configuration and "refreshed" multiple times. It displays the drive, but will not pass thru to the workgroup. Looks like a firmware issue. Works fine on the R6350, so I'm returning the R7000. Not trying to lose capabilities that I had before.
