Hello JamesGL,
I have an R7000 router and had the same issue as the other posters here.
Updated to the latest firmware and all file are now accessible.
Thanks for the tip.

Hi jsguy16,
Can you access the drive locally?
Have you tried other web browser? or another computer?
If still the same problem with other computer and another browser but you can access it locally, try to remove your readycloud account and create a new one and register the your new account to the router.
If still the same, try to reset the router to factory or use a different firmware.

I can access the drive locally. I tried another web browser, but same issue. I have not had time to try another computer, and I don;t want to reset to the router to factory settings because I have some customer settings for VOIP.
I set up several different ReadyCloud accounts, and I tried removing and adding the the accounts in the USB ReadyCloud section of the router. Same issue.
What other firmware would you suggest?
Thanks!

I saved my router settings then did a factory restore. After that, I was unable to access the router menu. I eventually learned that some months ago my netgear router was connected to a DMZ IP address set up on the Comcast Modem/Router. Bridge mode is not an option due to the intregrated security system. I believe that my netgear router had a static IP address of 10.0.0.4. I tried to access the netgear router using 10.0.0.4, 192.168.1.1, routersetup.net, etc. I did several resets with a paper clip, but was never able to access the menu, even though IP config shows the address as 192.168.1.1 and I am able to ping to that address. I also can not see any WIFI from the Nighthawk router, and yes the WIFI is turned on. I also tried unplugging the power for a minute, no help. I am thinking the router is broken now.

I was able to solve the router access issue by removing Kaspersky Internet Security from my laptop. Now I believe original issue....that I an not see any folders or files on my USB drive...may be related to my setup. I have my R7000 connected to a Comcast Modem/Router. I have a Static WAN address on my R7000 of 10.0.0.4, and a DMZ port with 10.0.0.4 on the Comcast router. I have a VOIP phone that needs special settings.
