Readyshare not working Windows 10.
I'm tired of waiting on the SMB1 fix. Am I missing something or wouldn't it be easier if Netgear simply added support for an additional user (other than guest and admin)?

ReadySHARE works fine here.
No messing around with SMB.
Not all routers are born equal. You might get better answers if you told people what your router is.
What firmware version do you have on this unnamed device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.

I suggest searching the community help for "SMB1" if you wish to learn about the issue. I'm simply asking whether support for another user would be a faster/easier way to work around the problem. i.e. it seems the complexities in the SMB1 fix is taking years to address, while adding support for an additional user could be done relatively quickly.
