R9000 Firmware 1.0.3.6 and 1.0.3.10 problems
I installed the 1.0.3.6 firmware update a few days ago and everything seemed fine but yesterday I went to play a movie on Plex and it said the server was offline. I've had this issue before where my ...
Both USB drives are still workable? Blamed Netgear recently for breaking ReadySHARE on my X10 some days before the 1.0.3.10 build was officially releaed - and discovered one of the two USB HDD was going west.

Thanks for the reply. I tried rebooting with the hard drives unplugged and I could access ReadyShare once again. I plugged in both hard drives and it goes away. I unplugged one of my hard drives and it came back. Plugged it back in and it went away again. So apparently I have a bad hard drive. I think just the rebooting after the firmware update brought the problem to light. I plugged the hard drive into my computer and it immediatly said there was a problem with the hard drive and it need to be checked for errors. Got that going right now.
Why it's programmed to not let you access ReadyShare when a bad hard drive is connected is beyond me. Seems it would just not see the hard drive or give an error.
Thanks again.

Appears we hit the same issue around the very same update.

Not sure this is anywhere near to the truth. Of course Netgear has some QA testing. Of course Netgear does share firmware to users reporting bigger issues. Things are definitively much better than it was when the R9000 was launched - still a long way to go. Yes, I'm not very impressed about the problem and error handling in place, too. One item more on the complaints list, email just sent to Taiwan.

Rarely updated and enhanced product specifications, paired with a very careless implementation, used in design (and user interface) for almost a decade if not more, lots of issues never fixed and carried forward by Netgear's ODM to what should have been a leading edge and non-inexpensive Nighthawk router product. Over all, in the first iteration a massive management problem. This is in fact easy to proof, let's pick some random discussion items:
- For how long has Microsoft announced SMB 1.0 (including NetBOS host announcement and name resolution) to be removed from Windows 10? As of writing, only a few Nighthawk models have got SMB 2.0/2.1/3.0 implementations. And none has a WSD service in place.
- For how long has OpenVPN announced that they will stop allow using MD5 certificates?
- Why have Nighthawk routers no https Web UI access, and all suffer from a single factory default certificate (even if properly signed and valid for routerlogin.com and routerlogin.net) and worse all have the same private key in place - what does render the encryption rather *****?
It's a long way to go, Netgear!
