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.

ReadyShare SMB1 Error
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=852747

R8000 USB 3.0 not working after updating to Firmware 1.0.3.54
My readyshare drive (external hard drive) plugged into the USB 3.0 port was inaccessible after updating my R8000 firmware to the latest verions 1.0.3.54. The drive wasn't being recognized by the router, by checking the web interface. There was no issue with the drive when plugged into the USB 2.0 port or my laptop. I checked the USB 3.0 port with a couple other external hard drives and usb pen drives. Again with the same results, not recognized in the USB 3.0 port, but working fine in the USB 2.0 port. Resetting back to factory settings didn't help. From there I rolled back to firmware version 1.0.3.48, and then like magic the drive in the USB 3.0 port was being recognized. There seems to be several posts regarding issues with the USB 3.0 port, but the only solutions being offered by support is to try a factory reset. I was very close to contacting support for a hardware replacement since my warranty is close to the end of the one year. My issue isn't hardware, it's with the firmware. I hope there is work being done resolve the issue in a firmware update.

USB 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?

ReadyCloud or equivalent for Orbi+ReadyNAS NV+ combo?
Hello. New user here. I'm looking for a way to access my ReadyNAS NV+ (2009 ish model. firmware 4.1.16) via cloud using readyCloud or whatever superseded it. I tried to follow the steps to add NAS to the shared volume but Orbi's admin page doesn't show any readyShare pane execept for printer sharing. Am I attempting to do that is not supported by the combination of my devices? (Clients are mac os sierra and iOS10 base) It'd hard to believe that Orbi the latest product wouldn't support cloud access. Thanks in advance.
