dopedope Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I have the 700 series and I can’t manage to create folders through the nas because explorer will just freeze and the router will reboot it self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Welcome to the forum! Sorry to hear that, how are you connected to the XR, wired or wireless? I'd suggest administering changes over wired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopedope Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 This is wired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 24, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 24, 2021 Hey, welcome to the forum! What is the NAS you're using? Is it a drive connected to the router via USB or over ethernet? If the former have you set it up in ReadySHARE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopedope Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 It's 2 USB drives through readyshare. I'm getting drive access errors when creating folders and then the router reboots... But I can navigate through the drives through Explorer as long as I don't create a folder. Are there advanced permissions I need to set up?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 24, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 24, 2021 How are you trying to create the folders exactly - when viewing on explorer or on the USB Storage settings on ReadyShare? If explorer then you need to do so on ReadyShare as you need to give read/write permissions etc to the specific folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopedope Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 It's through Explorer I was trying to create a folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 24, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 24, 2021 Okay do it through ReadySHARE on the router interface and then arrange your files into those folders and see whether it works properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopedope Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 I don't see an option to create folders in ready share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopedope Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 It's very important I am able to do this in Explorer. What are my options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Could you please check to see if you have SMB 1.0 enabled in Windows? Control Panel -> Program -> Turn Windows features on or off -> Expand the SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support option -> Check the SMB 1.0/CIFS Client option. You'll need to restart after this, see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would do so here: If you have to do it via explorer then I'd recommend contacting Netgear support directly - as it isn't our feature we're not as well versed as they are regarding this. http://support.netgear.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopedope Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 The drive is 12tb exfat. Are there size constraints? Would partitioning help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 26, 2021 These are the compatible system types so you could change to one of these and see if it works: https://kb.netgear.com/24059/What-are-the-USB-drive-requirements-for-my-Nighthawk-router Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
