PNY PRO Elite V3 and Nighthawk RS700 ReadySHARE
I just picked up a PNY 1TB Pro Elite V3 USB stick. I wanted to use it for ReadyShare, but I can not get my $800 Nighthawk RS70 (What I paid at the time) to pick it up? Anyone else having this issue and is there a work around to get this to work?
It was exFAT after I formatted and make it NTFS it worked. Thank you

What FW is loaded on the router?
USB drive formatted correctly? I believe NTFS should work:

Do other drives work?
Is not seen in the routers web UI for Readyshare?

Ok, that format isn't supported. Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
