Attempting to reach the ReadyShare server I get a message that the server is not reachable. Has ReadyShare stopped operating? Is there another way to store data to the USB drive on my modem othe...
NetGear Genie appear that I am set to go with USB access but I cannot bring up/open the USB drive, it does not appear anywhere on my Mac. Usually a drive icon will appear when any drive is connected I do this but get the above image.
Instructions for USB accèss are as follows:
Finder > Go > Connect to Server > smb://readyshare
The above took me to a screen that appeared to be access to the USB 3 installed on the router. It did this ONCE then produces the screen above.
Yes, that is the instructions I am following but I get this instead of access:

What happens if you use the LAN IP address of your router instead of readyshare?
Progress:
Entering at Connect to Server with an ftp:// prefix will allow an attempt to connect but the connection is not made. Wheel spins then gives up. The prescribed smb:// prefix from Netgear is not accept by this MacBook Ventura.
The image for a server does not appear in Finder after the connection attempt. It would be the image of an external drive with 3 people icons holding hands.
At least I found a prefix this Mac likes. I turned on file sharing. But still no connection.
Maybe reboot everything next.
