    apparently after you put it in AP mode you need to ''restart'' the router before you can acces Readyshare.

     

    after i powerd off my router and turned it back on everything worked just fine :smileyembarrassed:

     

    feel so stupid right now....... such a simple ''fix''

     

    thanks for all the help and quick responses tho !! :heart:

    Hi Retired_Member

     

    Welcome to the community!

     

    How do you access ReadySHARE? Is it through wired or wireless computer?

    Are you using R7500v1? 
    I have the setup right now and I can still access the ReadySHARE through a computer that's connected behind the R7500v1 using \\readyshare\USB_Storage
