ReadyShare no longer visible on Smart TV and STB

Since updating the Router firmware to V1.0.10.90 the readyshare folder on our LG Smart TV no longer appears. This is the same with the DVD recorder and STB. But The readyshare folder can still be accessed from smaller mobile devices.

Anyone know why this would be happening?? 

The TV, recorder and STB are all connected to the home network wirelessly.

Not sure what you R7000 previous firmware was - well possible your Smart TV and the STB made use of DLNA (UPnP AV) to access the media stored on the ReadyShare (USB) connected device (instead of a pure shared folder, folder and file access). Trouble might be that Netgear has started to remove some features along with recent firmware updates -> https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/DLNA-OFFICIALLY-removed-from-R7000-on-latest...
