Netgear R7960P Readyshare issues with admin vs guest users Windows and IOS
I have read a lot of posts about readyshare, and can access my router USB shares from Windows 10 (and 11) using my netgear router admin login and password. Where I am stuck is in accessing the shared...
Yes; I tried deleting and recreating the shares, but still not working....
We'd like to know the following:
What is the exact firmware version of the R7960P?
Have you tried using a different USB drive? If yes, does the issue persist?
Does the issue happen to the accessible folder when set to 'All - No Password' as well?

Firmware Version V1.4.2.84_1.3.42
Problem has changed; I made some folder changes on the USB drive, to just \Music and \Video folders, and deleted the windows saved network drive credentials (windows cmd prompt: NET USE * /DELETE) and tried to access, and can now access both folders, setting up mapped network drives in Windows 11, without having to enter any passwords.... picture attached... I have not tried a different USB drive.
Please try using a different USB drive with smaller capacity for testing. Let us know how it goes.
