My router's Readyshare has suddenly stopped working. When I try to access it, it prompts for credentials which it should not be doing. I reset it to factory and it still isn't working. Firmware Version V1.0.11.112_2.0.77 Windows 11 - version 24H2 I see that a Windows update installed on 12/16. Perhaps there is a conflict here? Ideas or am I just SOL on using this ever again?SolvedHow to Increase Routeur Wifi R6020 signals?

Hello, I have a Nighthawk R7000 rooter with a default OS (which I can't change). I have for several years activated the vpn service with open vpn which works very well. However, I'd like to increase security to connect to my rooter (and therefore to the connected nas server): set up a login and password connection. Is there a (simple) solution for this type of connection via open vpn? Is it possible to give rights to certain identifiers or remove them? I'd like to stop distributing the identification key, but to grant connection rights. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hi all, I just made this account so that I could post an issue and it's fix. I have the Nighthawk X4 AC2350 (R7500v2) and for a while now the media hard drive I have connected via USB using ReadySHARE just vanishes from the media server list all my home devices (TV, Xbox, Playstation, Phone etc...) about 5 to 15 minutes after setting it up or rebooting to get it to work. So basically I connect a hard drive, set it all up via ReadySHARE and it's there, visible on all devices for a VERY short amount of time. Then it vanishes, I can't find it on any device. I can however connect to the shared folders on it with my PC. It's had me stumped for ages. So much so I had just completely stopped using it for the last year. But I got a new hard drive and wanted to start using it again so I spent a long while trying to figure it out. I checked a lot of pages on here and noticed a lot of people had a similar, if not the exact same issue. After a lot of messing around I found a fix that seems to be working perfectly. I downgraded my firmware back to R7500v2 v1.0.3.40 (from 2019) and amazingly this fixed the issue. ReadySHARE is working perfectly again, So somewhere along the way Netgear basically broke it via one of the firmware updates (the latest version being: R7500v2 v1.0.3.50 Hot Fix). So this is a PSA; if you have this issue, downgrade your firmware to an earlier version from here: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/r7500v2#download (again R7500v2 v1.0.3.40 being the version that worked for me). If you have a different router and have this issue it might be an idea to try find an earlier firmware for your router too, something from around 2019. If anyone from Netgear reads this please FIX THIS ISSUE IN A NEW FIRMWARE UPDATE! Hope this helps someone. Cheers! 🤘3KViews0likes9CommentsNighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 7 Router, 19Gbps, 10 Gig Ports with NETGEAR Smart Parental Controls™

I don't know that I've ever been this angry with a consumer product. I used to be able to log in using 192.168.1.1 and then look at detailed info and make config changes Any attempt to do so now has me in an endless loop of having to enter the serial number and then fill in a new password and security questions. And then it just starts all over again. How does NetGear take the simplest of expected features and make it so exceedingly frustrating and broken? It is a requirement to log in to the router from time to time. I have reset the router, tried changing passwords etc. The router "works", but I'm having issues with Readyshare and the only way I know to address it is to login. Which used to work reliably. I know this is a known problem so where is Netgear support with the answers? I've seen references to clearing cache and trying alternate browsers so again, this is a known issue. I'm not sure i'm getting cache totally cleared, but downloading a brand new browser accomplished nothing I would like DETAILED instructions on how to fix this. And to fix it once and for all.File Save not working with ReadyShare, Windows 11 and Microsoft Office
I attached a hard drive to the USB port on my R6400 router and setup ReadyShare. It works great with everything but Microsoft Office. Microsoft Office tries to save the file and it looks like it it saving, but a get a "File not Saved" error at the end. I saw a similar post with no answers. I was unable to add a comment to that post though. I did set up the drive as a trusted location in Office, but that didn't help. I thought this would be a great way to share a drive on my network and was very excited to implement it. This Office save problem will keep me from implementing ReadyShare though and a Linux based NAS just doesn't work for me. I sure hope I can get this working because I am unware of any other easy/inexpensive options. Thanks for your help!SolvedNeed Help with Nighthawk AX12 Router Connectivity Issues!

I have a netgear N300 Wireless Router WNR2000v4 and I am planning on buying an Amazon Fire Stick. I have an HD TV using an antenna.
