Netgear R6700v3 USB issue with Windows 11

[thejohnsonclan1]

I added a hard drive to my router. It shows fine on my laptop with Windows 10, but my laptop with Windows 11 does not recognize \\readyshare.

Any ideas on how to connect?

is your new windows 11 set on a private network or public

Your network must be configured as private.

If you can determine an IPv4 address for your USB drive from your Windows 10 machine, write it down.

From the Windows 11 machine, right click the menu and click on Run:  put in \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where the x's are the IP address of your USB.  Once connected you should be able to map a network drive letter to the USB drive.  Windows 11 is still a work in progress.

Certainly start with the public/private thing suggested by @Kitsap and @plemans but I can't remember of the SMB setting carried over when I went to Windows 11, so it might be worth checking this:
