Does anyone have any suggestions on how to access files stored on a drive attached to Nighthawk X10 from the internet after 04/04/2023?
I'd start with using OpenVPN+DDNS. That should be enough for remote access (though not sharing).
One caveat - OpenVPN requires that the client phone or PC be able to connect inbound to the router. If your ISP uses carrier grade NAT, that isn't possible. Broadband internet services do use CGNAT, and some landline ISPs do also. In those cases, you could still use cloud storage solutions as suggested by Netgear.
