SMB not working with new ORBI Mesh Router
I switch from a Nighthawk R7000 to the Orbi Mesh system (RBK33). I have a NAS HD plugged into one of the cat5 ports on the back of the router. With the R7000, I was able to create shares and access...
I figured it out. I disabled UPnP and re-enabled it. In doing so, I cleared out the UPnP Portmap table. My theory is that the table was corrupt.
What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch if one is in the configuration.
Be sure the PC and NAS have IP addresses coming from the Orbi router and not any previously assigned static IP addresses.
Can you access the NAS's web page UI?
You may want to try and remove previously created shares and then re-enabled them. Possible that your NAS has lingering configurations from old router which maybe a cause.
