ReadyShare - Admin Password Protection Problem
Using USB drive with pictures and music files, plugged into R7900P router.
When selecting Admin Password Protection for Network Neighborhood, then opening file explorer to open READYSHARE, the expected dialog box opens to enter the password to allow access to the file. Entering the password will not open READYSHARE. The dialog box reopens as if the wrong password is entered.
When Admin Password Protection is used for HTTP or HTTPS or any of the other access options, the entered password correctly allows access to the file.
File explorer will open and see all files within READYSHARE if Admin Password Protection is turned off.
Using ReadyCloud Client 1.19, R7900P router.

You've latched on to a message from two years ago. And that one never provoked a response. So don't expect much.
It was also silent on the firmware version involved. There may have been several since then. Which are you on?
