RE-Creating a ReadySHARE
Had to reinstall Windows 10 Pro.
Looking in my File Explorer I do not see my ReadyShare drives.
I can see them on the other computers.
I have read "http://kb.netgear.com/20129/Creating-a-ReadySHARE-Network-Folder-and-Permission-Editing?cid=wmt_netgear_organic" but so far nothing.
This is what I am seeing when logged into http://www.routerlogin.net/.
What do I have to do to get these flashdrives to show up in my File Explorer??
I am using a R7000 Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band WiFi Router.
Thank you for the help.
Thank you everyone for the ideas on how to get my READYSHARE to work.
The thing works. How? I do now know.
I have done so many things, I just do not know what finally let READYSHARE to work.
Somehow this can be marked as solved. Even though I cannot tell inform you of how it happened.
Thank you all again.

Did it work before you re-installed W10?
Are you on the SAME domain as the Router?

Are you on the SAME domain as the Router? Are you refering to the computer w/cable icon in lower right hand corner of screen and shows Internet access? That name is Network. The rest of the computers are showing NETGER90.
I had to get that changed in the old install of Windows, then when it matched the rest of the computers, READYSHARE worked just fine. And on all computers.
If that is not what you are talking about, tell me where to look. I might be look at it and know know it.
I'll assume the names NETGEAR and NETGEAR90 are the names of the connection, not the Domain.
In a command prompt enter NET CONFIG WORKSTATION and it will show the Workstation Domain name. That name should match WORKGROUP name you gave the READYSHARE on the Advanced, USB Functions, Readyshare Storage web page. That puts your PC on the same Domain and you can see all shares on that Domain.
You can change it if it is different and if so see https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-change-your-computers-name-in-windows-10/ about 1/3 down the page for changing the Domain.
