Nighthawk 7400 Readyshare Not Displaying Files
Technically 2 issues. I have a WD Cloud drive that I have hooked up to this router, I have tried so many things to keep this drive showing active on my Windows 11 computer. After about 24 hours th...
It is a R7400 nighthawk. The driver is updated on this router.
Let me try to explain. I plug in a portable 5 TB drive to usb port on my nighthawk. I go into admin for the router and it shows that this drive is now connected. Then I copy the http link. It takes me to the web page, but it displays no folders, no files and it looks like it is empty. This is not true because if I plug in the drive directly to a desktop and all my files are there. Is this a windows 11 problem?
I am hoping that I can get this to work on this external portable drive and then I would buy an ethernet to usb and plug my nas drive in as a usb drive. I am frustrated that my network shares when plugged in as an ethernet only last 24 hours as the link until I reboot the drive. For now, any ideas why the portable drive is not displaying the folders/files, even though if I plug it directly into the windows 11 computer I can use and play my files.
Thank you for your help.

I never use that as a way of accessing USB.
I feed \\READYSHARE into my file explorer. (It also works in the Windows explorer.)
