Readyshare not working Windows 10.
I'm tired of waiting on the SMB1 fix. Am I missing something or wouldn't it be easier if Netgear simply added support for an additional user (other than guest and admin)?
ReadySHARE works fine here.
No messing around with SMB.
Not all routers are born equal. You might get better answers if you told people what your router is.
What firmware version do you have on this unnamed device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
I suggest searching the community help for "SMB1" if you wish to learn about the issue. I'm simply asking whether support for another user would be a faster/easier way to work around the problem. i.e. it seems the complexities in the SMB1 fix is taking years to address, while adding support for an additional user could be done relatively quickly.
the reply pages jumps around too much for me to type any of that info in. it flies all over the place when i try to enter it.
the attempted firmware updates always came back as "no firmware update needed" or something to that effect.
router = netgear R6220
believe it or not i've picked thru enuf of this to actually get most of everything figured out and working
the one thing that eluded me for another couple days was why i couldn't get data on/ off that usb i had stuck in the back of the router
finally, a few minutes ago, it occured to me to just go grab a new usb out of my stash
i unplugged the one i'd been using, stuck the new one in and the whole thing woke up instantly
wether or not it was the act of reinserting or the previous usb itself is actually bad, that first usb is going right into the crusher
not taking any chances with it again, even tho it works at other times....
most of this whole struggle has boiled down to simple errors like that. getting too caught up with settings, etc. when it was stuff like cable connections, basic rebootings and a bad usb that seemed to be most of the problem....
the other stuff seems to have fallen into place for now, as the usb access was just about the final problem i think i had....
regardless, thank you for your response on how to actually reply during efforts like this....
