That's what the release notes say. But "readySHARE vault" still works here.

Maybe it is some subtle variation of readySHARE vault that is dead. It is the encryption bit that has died. Have they wiped put particular settings?

Have you actually tried to run it?

As I said, I ran readySHARE vault today. But I don't use it in anger. (I wouldn't trust my system to router level operation and have several different backup regimes.)

I just ran it for a test. In my case, I was saving to a local USB drive on ReadySHARE. Worked as expected.

The way things are going, the "free" baubles bolted on to a router seem to be endangered species. We have lost free parental controls not to mention free DDNS.

If Netgear can find a way of charging money for something, it will. I don't find that surprising for inexpensive kit like routers.

I just want an adequate router. Not an all singing all, dancing support system. If something is important, I'll pay for a grown-up version and not some afterthought bolt on.
