Which "7000" is that?

 

ReadyShare is Netgear's way of sharing files on drives plugged into the USB ports on the router.

Manuals are always a good place to start.

Visit the support pages:

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

Look for the model number on the label on the device.

Check the section in the manual about ReadySHARE.
