RAX120 - Drive Shares Broken after drive change
Second posting as Forum Admin suggestion this is a better place: Original Manufacture: NetGear Nighthawk AX12 AX6000 Model: RAX120 Firmware: V1.2.3.28 I had two usb drives with two sha...
This is really bad.
No matter what you set, or reset router etc... you can now only set one share for both drives. This is really broken and two drives was one of the main purchase factors for this model.
Anyone else having issues or have a work around?
<<<< Update>>>>
I back reved firmware to 1.0.1.136 and the drive share is still broken.
1) It will not set share for each drive independantly
2) It will not save that I ONLY ever want share with password (even though it is terrible that it only can use "god"user <sigh>
3) Their cloud share service shows both drives though one is some random drive letter but at least you can get to the data. But with most my systems Linux, no client and so I did not consider this much of a hinderance as SMB / FTP were supported.. but now they are broken.
Seeing as no response from Netgear.. Firmware backrev not being fix... I am left with factory default of router and rebuilding.
Most of the settings I know and can easily replace, but the one that give me the most concern is wifi cert/. I have over 2 dozen IOT devices that if I rebuild but do NOT recover from backup... is their any means to make sure the keys etc... work still
Anyone do / done this?
I know I can do a baseline with rebuild that shares work.. .. then layere back in other things.. but maybe others have ideas on this.
I don't usually bother moderator as they have enough on hands shufffling wrong posts and cat fights.
I moved to NetGear really hoping to get features and convenience of not micro managing WRT router code issues... willing to pay $ for it... but now with features like this dropping, no logs, no shell to review services, no way to do core dumps ... and the lack of user authorization tiering... (all access is the one god account is just bad..bad security... without attempt lockout ... I mean.. serously.. :(
Thanks for note. I will post to moderator .. Last hope before I find another router.
