i have a windows admin login password (tried using it but didn't work. Also tried router login password)
It was originally setup with network wiz. but i did go in and opened up all share options..

now it's stopped 😞

Very Frustrating
Thanks

What does it look like when you aim the browser graphical user interface (GUI) at the ReadySHARE settings?
I see this:
