ReadySHARE inflating file to 1MB (RAX120)

When uploading a file to my ReadySHARE drive, it will inflate the file to 1,024 KB, resulting in a corrupted file. Looking in a hex editor, there is just blank data written to the end of the file. Attached below is a picture before and after uploading the image to my ReadySHARE.


Router: Nighthawk® AX12 RAX120

Router Firmware Version V1.0.0.84

 

Thanks

Hello RXC86 & ArunGupta, 

 

Curious to know, did the issue occur when using other firmware versions? I would recommend updating to the latest FW version linked below and let me know if there are any improvements.

I have exactly same problem with MS Word documents. The file size is always shown as 1024kb and when I try top open the file again Word complains that the file has problems. I have tried with different flash drives with FAT32 and NTFS formatting. No luck.

Same here, programs reject the file as being corrupted.

Hi Christian,

So sorry that I did not respond earlier. As you know I am working with support on the other issue. They have given me a special firmware for debugging. I just tested and the issue does not occur with that special firmware. So, it would seem that the issue could be with 1.0.0.84.

Thanks,

Arun
