Ready Share does not work
I connected a WD external hard drive to my router. I cannot access it per the instructions. I tried \\readyshare and it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? The NetGear genie sees the external harddrive as \\readyshare\USB_Storage, yet when I try it I get the following error message "Windows cannot access \\readyshare". I am so frustrated.Solved

Connecting a USB Storage to my router I get the following error when I try to connect. I updated to the latest firmware, but that had no effect. Any ideas? System error 384 has occurred. You can't connect to the file share because it's not secure. This share requires the obsolete SMB1 protocol, which is unsafe and could expose your system to attack. Your system requires SMB2 or higher. For more info on resolving this issue, see: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=852747SolvedUSB 3 Won't Recognize ReadyShare Drive
I have an R6400 AC1750 router on firmware V1.0.1.24_1.0.18 that will not recognize my Seagate 4TB BackupPlus Hub (formatted in MacOS Journaled per Netgear's instructions). If I plug it in USB 2, it pops up right away in the Readyshare settings page, but nothing on USB 3.0. I have tried restarting the router with the drive plugged in but it does not work. USB 2.0 is not sufficient for my needs, so the inoperability of the USB 3.0 port is a dealbreaker. Is there any solution for this problem? Do I need to do a warranty return?SolvedReadyShare can't find USB drive
Have 2 laptops connected to Readyshare. Been working OK. One laptop had a hard drive die, so I replaced and reloaded win10. The bad drive would still let me get files off of it, so I didn't use ReadyShare After reinstalling everything, both computers can't connect to ReadyShare Simply won't recogize there is a drive attached. Attached drive has its blue light blinking, so I know it's alive. Any ideas on how to fix? BTW the new version of Genie is so slow it is painful to use.SolvedPrinting using Netgear ReadySHARE Printer function is not working.
Hi, Printing using Netgear ReadySHARE Printer function is not working. Router firmware is the latest: V1.0.1.12_1.0.11 My printer is a HP LaserJet 1020 USB printer, connected properly. In Netgear USB Control Center (Software Version 1.36, Driver Version 1.83.35) it shows the printer is connected to R6400. When I inititate printing from PC, the printer starts to roll rollers for about 3-4 seconds and stops without feeding in the sheet. On PC in printer properties / printer status first shows Printing and after cca 30 seconds goes to: Error - printing. After deleting the queued document, and try to print again, I get Error printing on HP LaserJet without printer roller activity. Roller rolls only first attempt after the printer is powered on. If I connect the printer trough USB to my PC, the printing is working properly. Please suggest solution, or how to troubleshoot this. Thanks, mloriSolved5.7KViews0likes3CommentsUSB attached storage with WNDR4500
I have a Netgear WNDR4500 that has two USB ports on the back for USB attached storage or printers. I have a new Seagate Expansion external USB hard drive I'd like to use with it to create network attached storage. I've formatted the drive (I'm on MacOS Sierra) but when I plug it in the USB light on the front doesn't turn on and I can't see the drive from the computer. Is there some trick to this I need to know? The documentation on this seems rather thin.Solvedproblem with netgear R6100 ReadyShare with WD My Book 2TB to Sony TV and PS3
I have recently upgraded my Router from a lynksis wirless N router to a Netgear Wireless AC 1200 (R6100). With it I purchased a WD My Book 2 TB HDD for use as a NAS Device. Everything was working fine until about a week ago I had some trouble uploading a file from my Win10 PC to the drive via the network. Afterwords I could not access the drive from any of my families 3 windos PC's (Win 7SP2, 8.1, and 10). I could still acces the drive via DLNA through my Sony Bravia and my PS3. I did a power cycle of my modem and router and from then on I could access the drive from my computers but not through the Sony TV or PS3. I have removed the corrupted file from the drive, as well as the previous upload (law and order season 20). I have cycled the power on my WD Drive as well as edited all of the network settings through the netgear genie, the TV and the PS3. I have not reformated the drive since I don't have the space on my computer for all of the files (1.6TB worth of files, 500GB free space on my PC). Any help would be apreciated. *Netgear StreamPro AC1200 ---Model No. R6100 ---Router Firmware Version V1.0.0.60 *Sony Bravia TV ---Model No. XBR-65x850B ---Software Version PKG2.303AAA *Western Digital My Book 2TB External HDD ---Model No. WDBF JK0020HBK-NESNSolved
