Soo.... WHAZ UP~?!?!
Hey, been a while since I was actively posting and such... Trying to get back into the game, at least on Monday Nights, and *potentially* Tuesday nights! Work has been a drag for me lately, long hou...

Never experienced that with a Nighthawk before... You have the R7000 right?
Have you thought about going Merlin..? I have been using a Merlin port on my R7000 for sometime and have never had issues once going to it... Currently I am sitting on 380.68_3

That aside, I have no idea why it would automatically be turning on the ready share junk, check firmware updates to see if they addressed such an issue in any of them?
Yes, the R7000. It's odd about readyshare since it appears to be dependent on having a USB connected to the router (I don't) or having a readyshare vault cloud account (I don't). I wonder if the massive multicast pushes somehow triggered it.
I'm so far behind in firmware, but I have heard horror stories about people updating the firmware on the nighthawk. I may create a backup and try a different firmware this weekend, I'll let you know if I succeed. I really don't want to get a new router since I'm really attached to this one, but I think that soon I won't have the option.

To be fairly honest... I process a lot of returns... Nighthawk R7000 are some of the most highly returned units as far as routers go, and it's honestly because the stock firmware is horrible... If you try third party firmware, make sure to read all instructions about backing firmware up and how to convert back to old firmware, it can be a bit tricky.
C0RR0SIVE - I can't recall, but I think I am one firmware update ahead of the factory stock FW, but no further. I don't have Dynamic QoS available, if that puts a timeline to it. I'll read up on the processes for new FW, but in the end after last night it is looking like I might just have to bite the bullet and upgrade the firmware to the most recent. If it doesn't do the trick, 3rd party FW it is and if that doesn't work out.. new router ;_;
And yeah, GabeU could you believe that isn't the first time that's happened!? Major yuck
I saw R7000 and immediately thought "ICOM"
