    I fixed it. I had a password setup for Read/Write only acces for username admin. So i disabled the password request and now it is detected.

I did testing just using the R7000 for the ReadyShare features, and found that the WAN port must be in use, connected to the internet.

 

My finding is this: The R7000 must be your main router & gateway, not just another device on your existing network.

 

You didn't say whether or  not you were using the R7000 as you main router, but I tried to use mine just for ReadyShare and

it just refused to be a ReadyShare device unless it was the main router.

 

Is that the problem?
