ntino Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 I have to say that either I am an idiot or this is the buggiest router ever. Neither Plex nor readyshare is working properly. With plex I get a ":You may not be connected to your Router’s WiFi network. To access routerlogin.com, your device must be connected to your Router’s WiFi network. Check your current connection and try again." I did get into plex at some point, not sure how I managed but at this point this is what it does and I cannot see anything shared from my TV. Readyshare is not working either, I had several netgear routers before and never a problem with readyshare, but its just not popping up as a shared network folder.?! Lets get those resolved , lets put aside the torrent VPN thing right now, as a big reason I even got this router was for Plex, any advice there?

Netduma Alex Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Have you tried any other browsers to access the Plex server? Are you using seperate WiFi bands? Does it refuse to work on both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntino Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 plex server will work most of the time, its the access page that does not - I am not on wifi, but when I am it does the same thing. Why does READYShare not work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 5, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 5, 2019 Please access using the LAN IP of the router and see if it solves that. Has ReadyShare ever worked with the harddrive you have at the moment? Check this guide for compatible drives that should work, if yours isn't included then that may be why. Select XR500 & R9000 as there doesn't seem to be an option for XR700 at the moment: https://kb.netgear.com/18985/Will-my-USB-drive-work-with-ReadySHARE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntino Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 readyshare works via the cloud option though, the drive is detected, I can see drive contents etc via duma OS Also, on plex - whenever I click on open plex from the router UI it gives me that window, sometimes it randomly wont and will open plex, I have tried this with different browsers. Readyshare is a big deal. Media server works. I have doubled checked workgroup settings etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 5, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 5, 2019 This is probably something you're better off raising a direct ticket with Netgear for as we haven't had anything to do with the implementation of those features: http://support.netgear.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntino Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Ok, I will ask them, any ideas what to with the tixati thing then? Can I try this for chrome to see if it works elsewhere? what port would I foward? 80, 443? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 8, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 8, 2019 The only thing I could suggest at this point would be to see whether a different torrent client results in the same issues. Yes you could do that, no need to forward any ports. UPnP will sort it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
