Hard to see how ReadyDLNA or ReadyShare can rotate images. That's down to the client.
More important, I see no sign that there is a DLNA media server or support for ReadyDLNA in the C7000. It isn't mentioned in the manual.
If that is what you own, you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

- hampalAug 28, 2021AspirantIt's actually a c7000v2 but that wasn't an option on the dropdown. ReadyDLNA and ReadyShare are definitely features of this router/modem. What I don't get is how the same picture displays correctly on the same client when using Servio or plex as the DLNA server, but copy it to readyshare and display it through ReadyDLNA and it's sideways. Same thing happens with some videos.

No matter, I see no sign that the c7000v2 supports ReadyDLNA. ReadyShare is something else.
The only cable modem/routers that do promise ReadyDLNA are the C6250 and the newer CAX30 and CAX80.
Then again, this would not be the first time that the manual had things wrong.
The good news is that if a cable modem router does support something, there won't be newer firmware that wipes out features, which has happened to some routers. Netgear cannot change the firmware on a cable modem.
