When I wanted to add another movie to this USB drive, I couldn't. I can see the ReadyDLNA:C6300 under This PC and under Network locations. I can also see the folders.
The ReadyDLNA is just a file system-like representation of the existing media files and folders indexed for the DLNA clients, realized by your Windows system. At no point, this is writeable. Updating files and folders is done using the ubiquitous standard file sharing nicknamed ReadyShare resp. the shared folder pointing to the USB storage device.

I can also create new folders from the GUI. I can see the movie file and can play it as well. However, I can't save any files into these folders! Apparently I don't have the write access?!
Use the \\readynas\[USB-device-shared-folder] for the file system access.

Going into the router's GUI, I made sure the READ and WRITE accesses were set to 'no password'. So I'm not sure what the issue is?
What looks as a clever idea for simple access is denied by modern Windows systems. Non-authenticated share access was abused over years for malicious activities. Strongly suggest to set a password for write access.
