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.
Hi irwinsg,
You can use the R7000 list as it has the same list.
I got it to work with a 125GB Usb Drive.
I have the USB 2.0 drive working fine in the USB 2.0 port. Also I had used another USB 3.0 drive in the USB 3.0 port. One is a WD, WD1000H1U (1TB 2,0) and the other a Seagate, SRD00F2 (2TB, 3.0).
The are POWERED drives. Many that use the USB port for power, like the Portable USB drives and some Flash/thumb drives generally do not work.
Oh, the R7000 latest flash, 1.0.7.12 seems to have a bug where the USB LCD indicators DO NOT light.
In Windows, open a COMMAND Prompt (Win key + R) and enter CMD then enter NET VIEW. You should see the Router share (default name is Readyshare) like this:
