ALL Netgear USB Drive Mapping Issues ReadyShareConnect.exe ReadyShare Windows10 Map Network Drive
This reply will solve TWO Issues pertaining to Mapping a Windows Network Drive to your USB Connected Drive on your Netgear Router. This posting applies to ALL Netgear Routers utilizing Shared USB Windows/MAC File Sharing, including all current models. Please pay strict attention to the word SOLVE !!! THIS is a technical workaround for very LAZY and Outdated programming on the part of Netgear Management. It is NOT a Windows problem. It appears to be a Windows issue simply because Microsoft has chosen to disable (FINALLY) the 30 Year Old SMBv1 which was used in PRE Windows NT Days (Circa 1988). Windows 10 relies solely on SMBv3.x and above which is far superior to SMBv1 which Netgear has chosen to use. Please note well, ENABLING SMBv1 WILL Open your Windows 10 or below OS to the WANNACRY Ransomware. You will be crying after doing this BUT your ReadyShare WILL Indeed Function. Netgear utilizes ANCIENT technology and software practices simply because all development is performed in tents in India by "experts" utilizing state-of-the-art development protocols that were deemed inadequate in 1992 !!! That is NOT an exaggeration. So be forewarned, this is NOT a good idea, but the only way you can connect to your $500 Netgear R9000 Router using Microsoft Windows Network Drive Mapping is to enable SMBv1 on your Windows 10 or below Operating System. (The Anniversary Update DISABLED SMBv1 as a security precaution in Q1/Q2 2017) If your network mapping seems to have mysteriously broke in the past few weeks then you know your SMBv1 has been disabled. You can easily ENABLE it and continue to use Netgear's OUTDATED software which relies on SMBv1 to connect to the USB Device attached to your Netgear Router. FIRSTLY, The Download Location for the ReadyShareConnect.exe sharepoint is: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/ReadyShareConnect.exe You don't need it but there are dozens of posts looking for this information. If you download it save it to C:\Windows\System32 Folder for ease of use. It does nothing more than the NET USE command line. To ENABLE SMBv1 in Windows 10 simply Click on PROGRAMS AND FEATURES in Control Panel. On the left side panel click on TURN WINDOWS FEATURES ON AND OFF. Navigate down the Popup List Box to SMB 1.0/CIFS FILE SHARING SUPPORT and Place a CHECKMARK in the Box next to it. OK your selection and then RESTART your Computer. When you log back in you will then be able to connect to your Netgear ReadyShare USB Devices connected to your router. BUT, every Ransomware scammer and hacker will also be able to readily access your SMB (Server Message Block) protocol messages. In other words you are wide open to ransomware attack so start your crying now as you will need it !!! Start calling Netgear NOW and demanding that they provide 2017 type programming performed by AMERICANS on AMERICAN SOIL !!! Now you will understand why I am so ticked off that Netgear is so incompentant to sell a $500 Router with such outdated and totally dangerous software connectivity. Yes the newest R9000Nighthawk is around $500 with taxes and shipping, and UTILIZES SMBv1 protocol !!!!Solved543KViews13likes10CommentsSetting up Port Authentication w/ RADIUS on a S3300, seeing timeout erros
On the same network that I am attempting to get 802.1x working I have it working threw a GS752TP-poe and a Unifi AP to a Win VM running RADIUS. With the S3300 conneced to a computer on a secured port the RADIUS never logs any activity, however from the same securied computer ruunning a test app I do get logs on the RADIUS. Seems that from the switch to the RADIUS is the issue? Error on the S3300 log is DOT1X[126721636]: dot1x_radius.c(237) 1547 %% Failed to authenticate on logical interface [ifName not found(1408)] due to radius comm failure.Solved102KViews0likes12CommentsDoS attack, Teardrop or derivative, Ping of Death, strange non-DHCP IP address connected to wifi
I'm getting lots of Dos attacks logged in my C3000 modem/router. They appear to be coming from inside my network, from my wifi. I keep seeing a device attached to my wifi with an IP address of 1.1.153.128. I've block it several times, but have seen its MAC address change and it re-connects. I've since blocked all new devices from connecting through access control. I had started investigating this because we were having severe connectivity problems to the internet. Does anyone know what this rogue device might be? I suspect that it might be an iPhone connected to the wifi.86KViews0likes88CommentsWARNING Vulnerability ID: NON-2015-0211 on my Netgear Router WNR2000v3 Please help
I scanned my MacBook with the avast antivirus and the network Scan a vulnerability which I was searching online to fix additional solution yet this is what I found on PCWorld website At first glance, sending requests to this SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) service requires an authenticated session. However, Adkins discovered that sending HTTP requests with a blank form and a “SOAPAction” header is enough to extract sensitive information from a vulnerable device. The information that can be extracted includes the administrator password; the name and access keys for the wireless networks configured on the device, and details about the device including its model, serial number and firmware version. Adkins confirmed that Netgear WNDR3700v4, WNDR3700v4, WNR2200 and WNR2500 devices are vulnerable. However, because of the flaw’s location, other devices, including WNDR3800, WNDRMAC, WPN824N and WNDR4700, might also be affected, he said. This was posted on the 16 February 2015 and today is October 22 2015 and I was just wondering if this was going to be fixed or not because I search everywhere no one has A answer to fix This I need to know please I don't want my information to be on the Hacker world. i like my netgear router but i am afraid to use it now I need to know if I need to change router Brands Thanks By the way this is the link of 1 of the few posts that talks about this vulnerability NG WNR2000v3 Vulnerability NON-2015-0211Solved
Netgear Genie - Network Map showing strange connections
Looking at the Network Map, I see way too many connections. One from Japan, several from ARRIS (?), and one from IR(?). I have tried to research these internaly but can't find them. I can account for our phones, pads, computers, TV, etc. Have I been hacked? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Solved80KViews0likes12CommentsHow to get access to 192.168.1.1?

Netgear R7000 as repeater
I have a home wifi, provided by a from a non-Netgear modem/router. I want to extend the range of the wifi so that it reaches the other side of the house, and avoid the use of cables. As I have a R7000 router which I am not using at the moment (and I just upgraded to the latest firmware), I thought on putting this in the repeating mode. However, I am having 2 issues: I can only select repeating mode if I have disabled wifi security first. So, anyone will be able to connect to the extended network. When I configure the repeating, I can select the MAC of the base router, but there is no place to select the details of the wifi that the repeater has to connect to. As a result, after selecting repeating mode, I cannot connect to the Internet. Not only that, but I can no longer connect to the R7000 router, so I can only reset again to factory defaults and start again. Is there any way in which I can use a R7000 router to extend my wifi without laying cables all around my house? I used to have a $10 repeater that did this (albeit it was a bit slow).Solved68KViews0likes9Comments
