ReadySHARE Printer Utility, download, etc.

NETGEAR   Nighthawk X4S AC2600 Smart WiFi Router Model RC8700

 

Page 135 of my manual states to download the ReadySHARE Printer Utility I need to go to NETGEAR.com/readyshare Pressing that link returns https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/R7800/www.netgear.com/readyshare

and a page displaying simply "Not Found"

I would like to "Download the PC Installer and get started, the utility for Windows computers" so that I can get the "utility to display as NETGEAR USB Control Center on my computer".

How do I go about doing this?

    Not sure that I can understand where things are going wrong at your end.

    I can find no reference to a RC8700 in the Netgear system. Perhaps you mean R7800.

     

    Is that what you have?

     

    Visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    That page will also have any software and firmware for your device.

     

    The ReadySHARE Printer Utility Version 1.36 (Windows) is there.

    That should be enough to get you going.

      Thanks. I'll try this.

      Sorry I let this get away. Major surgery to my wife to deal with.

      Will get back asap.

      Thanks for understanding.

      I'm back...

       

      Downloaded ReadySharePrinter_setup_v1.36.exe and installed it.

      Now I get an app window with little more than question marks (see Ntgear Shared Printer Screenshot.jpg Photo link)

       

      Did I do something wrong?

        The Photo

         

        Netgear Shared Printer Screenshot.jpg is not the screenshot I made. I'll try again.
