ReadyShare seems to suck
Is anyone else actually using ReadyShare and getting it to work? I recently added a HD to my Nighthawk X6 (R8000/AC3200) and enabled the readyshare. Both my computers see it and I started backups...

Sorry, I thought I was clear. It's the readyshare software that netgear provides.You can use any backup software on a Readyshare drive.
I wouldn't trust Netgear's software to match the performance of a specialist package.
SyncBackPro does a good job.
Sorry, I thought I was clear. It's the readyshare software that netgear provides. Readyshare on the router and the readyshare clients on Windows 7 and Windows 10.

Checked out the free version of SyncBack "SyncBackFree".... Its fricken AWESOME. Exactly what I needed.
Does it work OK with Readyshare for you?
Yeah, works great. I have it setup on all 3 of my machines now. I'm thinking about getting the click-free module they have for cellphones.
Its a bit slow because my USB 3.0 jack on my router seems to crash the router everytime I plug something into it, so I'm stuck with the USB 2.0 for my external drive. 2TB Drive seems to be ok.
I have a SYNC profile for each computer to just keep a mirror directory on the ReadyShare drive and then I have an end of week backup of each computer on the ReadyShare.
