Windowx X and RReadyshare not compatible
i know my problem is with the new update and smb1 being disabled. i am assuming this is a problem with the router and not the hard drive. My question is will netgear put out an update for this fix or...
Your question has come up quite a lot in recent times.
Try searching this forum for SMB1.

The problem I have is that after the new windows 10 update the ready share drive I had connected is no longer visible on that windows 10 computer. The drive is still visible on other computers just not the windows 10. It is because the SMB1 was disable due to security concerns. What I wanted to know was if the router would have a firmware update to correct this problem and make my readyshare drive accessible through my windows 10 pc. My understanding is the router needs to support SMB2 or SMB3 to make the readyshare drive accessible again. So if there is not going to be an update then I need to look for a router that supports the smb2 and smb 3 protocols. As far as the speed of my router is concerned I don’t seem to have a problem streaming videos on 3 different devices at the same time so that was not really a concern of mine.

- My apologies for wasting your time. I did not see that particular post but did find others similar to it that I thought were router specific. So there are no plans to update the firmware then to support SMB2 or SMB3? I guess I’ll be purchasing a router from a different company that is not up to date. Thanks for your time I truly appreciate it.
