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 w...
Hi jedensuscg,
What is the file format of the drive? Can you try to reformat it and use NTFS.
Hello,
Thanks for the reply. I did try a different USB flash drive (explained above as well) and same thing. Also tried Edge, ie 11 and chrome and two different computers, and both wireless and plugged into via cat5.
Haven't tried rolling back firmware yet.

Hi Guys,
So I bought new a shiny X4S for 200 eur hoping that the nice spec will go in line with software.
However Netgear seems to be worse or same as Tp-link in terms of software...
I have few issues/observations so far
1. No matter what usb (3x different HDD, 6x USB drive) i plug in, I cannot create any folders and it is not visible by the router. I tried plugging when off, on, rebooting, etc. Nothing works
2. List of attached devices is so not user frendly. (Netgear please look at Asus fw and learn)
3. QoS - No possibility to set individual bandwith for devices
4. QoS basically not working. I set highest priority to my gaming PC and low to everything else and still when syncing photos on another office PC to Gdrive i couldn't play online game cause of the latency (high ping)
5. Slow interface. Any selection of menu items takes 5-10 seconds
I hope that Netgear is interested in selling quality products and not just great hardware with useless software....
I know it sounds a bit bitter but coming from Asus I got used to certain standards.
I may saound a bit unhappy but at this price level I am expecting top of class SW/FW
I am also now getting a blank page on Advanced/Readyshare/Advanced Settings on my X4S. Was working fine until I added a new path to a large music folder, naming the new network folder "Rick's Music"
Now when I click on Advanced/Readyshare/Advanced Settings it says "Please wait a moment..." and the wheel spins for a while, then blank page. I did find if you click some combination of Media Server, Basic Settings, Advanced Settings, sometimes you can get the Advanced Settings page to load. It is kind of random how to get the page to load. I think if you click Media Server then click Advanced Settings quickly before that page loads gets you in. Then, if I hit the + button to create a new network folder I get the blank screen again.
A text screen popped up at some point with a link www.routerlogin.net/USB_Folder_creat.htm, not sure what that is about. I did try both chrome and IE 11 browsers, on two different devices, both behave about the same way.
I can still access the disk from other devices using the existing share name \\readyshare\external_disk, The new network folder I tried to create does not show up at all on the network.
Any ideas what is going on here?
Any suggestions how to fix this?
