Hi cbren,

 

Good day!

 

Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
 

First of all, we do apologize for the inconvenience of not getting back to you immediately due to the backlog in the system. Do you still have the same issue? Due to Windows update, some features including SMBv1 protocol have been affected. Please go to this link for the workaround:

Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need further assistance. 
 

Regards,
