Netgear R6220

I attached a USB WD Elements portable drive to my R6220 router to set up Readyshare. Installed Readyshare. I mapped network drive to get in to it. When I try to add files, I am denied access, need permission to perform action. I have tried multiple remedies and does not work. Tried to share the drive in Windows 11 and I get "Failed to enumerate objects in the container.  Access denied." Tried remedies for this and no go. I plugged in to my desktop and I cannot see the drive in file explorer. How do I fix this?

What did you install? Readyshare doesn't need anything.

 

Are those messages in Windows? If so, that is where to look for answers.

Here's where to look in Windows 11:

 

  • Settings
  • Apps
  • Optional Features
  • More Windows features
