Win 10 will not allow writing to USB drive
Everything worked fine on my old Win10 PC, then I switched to a new Win10 PC. Readyshare is setup for no password read and write. I can access my readyshare drive to read, but not write. When I try...
Thanks. SMB 1 is enabled. My router is at 192.168.1.64. I try and access 192.168.1.64\readyshare\USB_Storage using Map Drive, and it tells me the device rejects the connection. Interesting, because Windows lets me read the device - just not write to it.

That is an unsual router IP. Are you using it in AP mode?
Maybe confirm that you have the right path by running CMD on the PC. Then enter
net view \\192.168.1.64
Also, the router might be set up to need a password for write access. Maybe check the router config for that.
I don't know what AP is. I see no option on the router setup regarding that. I have set readyshare for no passwords. When I go to CMD and try net view \\192.168.1.64 or 192.168.1.1 or even the local 10.0.0.1, I get an error that no connection exists.

AP: Access point. AP mode is an advanced setting (page 77 here: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WNDR3400V3/WNDR3400v3_UM_19June2014.pdf)
Basically it lets you use the WNDR3400's wifi without using it as a router.

How did you determine that your router's IP was 192.168.1.64?
When you say "local 10.0.0.1", are you saying that your router is set up for 10.0.0.x addresses?
Maybe I am wrong about the IP. 192.168.1.64 is the internet IP. But why did net view not find 192.168.1.1? Yes, my system is set up for 10.0.0.x. Would AP do anything for me? The system works fine, except for this new USB writing issue.
