Connecting router to external USB drive
I'm trying to add my external USB HD to the router and am running into a few problems: 1) I don't know if I can use it to backup via Time Machine or only for additional storage? I followed the Time Machine guide to partition the USB drive. I'd like to be able to store backups on it. Is this possible? 2) I attached the USB drive to my router and reach the point to connect to server and keep getting an error that my MacBook cannot connect. I opened Genie and everything is good, so I'm unsure as to what the problem is. MacBook Pro Late 2011 macOS High Sierra 10.13 Just updated Genie to 2.4.26 Any help appreciated. Thanks.
putta link into the antivirus log entry for the file, to allow ignore, delete, etc).
At present can only ignore scan at directory level this means a single problem file can stop the whole directory being protected i suggezt putting a link into the log entry for the file, to allow the usual options (ignore, delete, etc). So that if you now a file is ok you can stop it being scanned without losing protection for the test of the directory. Especially a problem when a file stops a backup process.
Give an option to use external USB connected portable HDD to increase stored log file size
I have a R7000 router. I found out the current log size is very limited and I want it to log 24 hours events. I guess saving log on router has file size limitation. As I know, R7000 router can connect to a portable USB hard drive directly and can use it to do backup files. Why not use it to store the log data file? By doing it, the router can store any large log file size as long as the hard drive has the capacity. I think it is feasible and not hard to implement this as Router can access this hard drive directly and already provided some file back up features. Please Netgear change some configuration to add this feature. That will be great!!Update to 6.4.0 made my hdds inactive

Diagnostic Help Please!
Hey Guys, My reliable ReadyNAS has been given me issues this last week. It's a ReadyNAS NV+ v1 loaded with 4x2TB WD Green drives. FW is current at 4.1.14. I'm posting here becasue I found this thread: https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Hardware-Compatibility/ReadyNAS-NV-hangs-freezes-please-help-diagnose-24042647/td-p/931232 Which is the identical symptoms I am getting from my unit. The unit boots, starts a FS and Quota check since I had to hard unplug it due to the power button being non-responsive since this started happening. After the 2 hours that check takes to complete, I can access shares/web console etc for about 30 min. Then the activity lights stop, the power button becomes unresponsive, and share access stops. In the thread linked above, it looks like there was 'Current_Pending_Sector' value which indicated a failing/bad disk. I'm hoping having someone's input on the logs will point at the same issue with mine and not some logic board issues or hardware problem. Keeping the data intact and accessible is my priority at this point. I have been able to extract the logs and loaded them here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7tgX-P1b8UgbTA3blk2VWZ1TkE/view?usp=sharing Any input would be greatly appreacited. Thanks -ken
