I did a factory reset and upgraded to firmware 1.2.1.12 . Router is working fine. All I am trying to do is go to 192.168.1.1 then open the router page, then go to Basic, then click Ready Share,(Basic)  then click Ready Cloud and add my router to my ready cloud account. That is all I am trying to do. Why would a technician screen share with me and not be able to fiqure it and then want to down grade the firmware just to confiqure my router (with a usb coneccted external hard drive) is not logical. I called netgear support because the online instructions provided for doing this are not working.
