Therein lies the problem...

There was no need for Microsoft to have installed SMB 1.0 for modern versions of Windows. And have it enabled.

Especially for new installs. And for non-corporate users.

Yet they did so for "backward compatibility"

A better story, to have reduced the surface area of attack, was to get people that need it to install it explicitly.

I was surprised that SMB 1.0 was still part of Windows 10 which was freshly installed a couple of months ago.

So my question was related to whether SMB 1.0 is supported on my RN316 and whether I can turn it off.

All my clients use SMB 3.0, so there is no need for SMB 1.0. It's such an ancient version of the protocol.

WannaCry is an agrument against "maintaining backward compatibility forever", or having old protocols enabled by default.

I would rather only support SMB 3.0. And then be forced to upgrade clients to a later version of SMB 1.0, if I desire.

Thus the question. I could not find any configuration for the SMB version anywhere.

As opposed to stepping down protocol versions....

Same example can be made with browsers that try TLS 1.2 then TLS 1.1 then TLS 1.0 then SSL 3.0 then SSL 2.0 then SSL 1.0.

Time to move on...
