READYSHARE options keeps giving blank pages, can't change add folders.

So i decided to plug in my WD My Password Ultra (1TB version) into my router to use it as a media drive.  All went well at first. I loaded up the drive in the USB settings, restarted the router and was able to initially create three folder no problem.  When I tried to create a fourth folder, that is when things whent crazy.

Now DESPITE restarting the modem, remove the USB drive completely and reinstalling (through saftely remove USB drive option...when I can get to it(more on that).

One or more of several things happen.  First, when I click Basic settings under READYSHARE, it shows the three options at the top (Basis, REadyShare cloud, etc) but DOES NOT show the EDIT button about 90% of the time.  WHen I go to ADVANCED settings, it will saying Please wait blah, and most of the time it will just load to a blank gray screen. I can click reload frame(chrome) or refresh(explorer) and it MIGHT load up the advanced setting page. When it FINALLY DOES load, if I click CREATE FOLDER, the popup window will appear but the main window again loads to a blank gray screen, and the pop up window gets stuck on loading. I can again refresh the popup to sometimes get the CREATE FOLDER options to appear, I do this, and when I hit apply, it will either freeze and do nothing, or it will pretend to close the popup, but when I finally get the advanced settings page to load again (using previous steps) no new folder was created. It is just a vicous cycle.

I removed the drive completely, and the problem persists, but this time, I can't even get the first three folders created. It's like it just broke and refuses to work.

WHen I do remove the USB drive, then I can navigate the READYSHARE options normally, no loading hicupps, nothing.  So it is related to having a USB drive enabled and set, but it's only a 1TB drive, with only about 400MB of data on it.

Also important I CAN ACCESS the files on my computer, Xbox One, whatever. The drive shows up everywhere I want it too, and the few olders I created before it bugged out even worked correctly (password protection etc) so I can in theory use my drive wholesale without any folders, but that defeats the purpose for me.

I tried USB port 2, it looked promising, everything loaded up normally, but as soon as I try to create a specific folder (maybe a file in that folder causing issues?) it freezes on the popup when I click Apply and sits there doing nothing. I can close the window, and when I attempt to try again this is when it starts the whole process over again.

Firmware V1.0.2.12 (most recent)

Windows 10 laptop

EDIT

I went back to USB port 1, hoping that maybe since USB port 2 worked until I tred to create a specific folder, USB port 1 might have cleared it self.  NOPE. it's still FUBAR, as is USB port 2. it's like I just bricked my router.  Can't even create one single folder outside of the default entire drive folder, which means either everything is locked(and can't use it as a media server on xbox or away from home without unlocking it every time) or I have to leaveit wide open.

Also reupdated firmware. USB READYSHARE is still borked.
