READYSHARE, RAX 54v2, will not connect to computer

[jljohnson51]

I had a Netgear router for 20 years work great but it finally quit. Purchased a new Netgear to replace, the Nighthawk AX6, I purchased this as it provides a connection for the internet as well as an in-home connection, but it also provides Readyshare so I can connect my storage unit to keep my files off of the computer. When I follow the instructions, Start, RUN, and enter \\readyshare, I receive an error message (an extended error has occurred).

That is in Windows?

That is where to look for the solution.

Here's where to look in Windows 11:

• Settings
• System
• Optional Features
• More Windows features

Then there is the Public/Private network thing in Windows.

• Network and Internet settings
• Ethernet
• Properties
• Private network

My computer is set to private. You directed me to More Window Features, but I know nothing about this area and have no idea what to turn on or off.  Still receiving the message: (an extended error has occurred)
