Readyshare Question
I have a RS280 router that I attached a 1TB hard drive to via the USB port. The router recognises the hard drive and I can get it to show up in Windows 11 Explorer (most of the time!). However, I cannot write new files or folders to it. I do have permissions set to read/write with no restrictions in the router's GUI. I have two questions: Any idea why I can get the hard dribe to show up in Windows Explorer - but only periodically. The share name is the default i.e. "\\readyshare\USB_Storage". I have attached a screenshot of the ReadyShare Basic settings screen. More importantly, does anybody know why I CANNOT write to the hard drive?? I tried mapping the network drive and connecting with no user or password - still can't write. I tried mapping the drive and connecting with the user name and password of the router - still can't write. I'm thinking I'm missing something pretty simple but just can't figure it out. Thanks for any help or advise . . .NH RS300 - QoS
Does the RS300 have a QoS feature? According to the manual for the RS300 I have access to there should be a QoS feature in the router. This is a screenshot of the manual, page 104. I the admin interface I don't see any references to this QoS menu: What am I missing her? The router is bought in Europe/Norway, in case there is some regional differences to the RS300. And in case you wonder, the FW is the latest version I have access to (see details above).Help please rs300
Nighthawk BE9300 WiFi 7 Router (RS300) was purchased 8/13/25. I previously had a ax5400 that was wonderful (no drops) but in its 4th year. Upon downloading. I began dropping internet service multiple times a day and some streaming broke down. I immediately called support wen through a series of adjustments and yet im still getting 30 sec or more drops and occasionally my internet will freeze. any solutions appreciated...my house is only 1600 sq ft. my router is in same place my old was.Router dropping internet frequently
RS280 running v1.0.1.90 The problems I'm having are frequent (typically daily) but are often different so it's a little hard to troubleshoot. Here are the types of issues I encounter: Users (2 of us) lose all internet but retain a wifi connection. Netgear modem shows internet and Xfinity confirms no outages. Reboot router and internet restored. One user device loses internet but not wifi. Usually one of our Windows 11 laptops. Only way to restore it is to reboot laptop and sometimes reboot router also. Users lose wifi and internet. When I check the Netgear app I get a msg that it can't find the router. Rebooting router works about half the time, and if it doesn't, than I unplug the modem and the router and reboot both which works 98% of the time. Sometimes I have to repeat the steps to get it working. This is a daily occurrence. The old Netgear router in this same house rarely had these problems. When it died I replaced it with this router and these problems started, but not right away. I do have a lot of devices connected (phones, ipads, appliances, etc.) I currently have 28 devices showing a green dot on the app. Is the router defective?Internet speed slowed down after installing Magis TV on my device
Hi everyone, I’ve been using Netgear Wi-Fi routers for my internet connectivity for about two years, and everything has been running smoothly. But recently, after installing Magis TV on my smart tv, I noticed that the internet speed across my network has slowed down quite a bit. Although I installed it from the official Website. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Could the app be hogging too much bandwidth, or is it possible there’s another issue with my router settings? Any advice on how to troubleshoot this would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!
