I should clarify that my router is running firmware version 6.01.07. I have tried resetting the router, my compter, etc. I have tried changing the read & write access to password protected and then back. None of this worked.

Have you set up the desktop drive access by opening the share using Opt/K on the mac and SMB connect to the share? This should put a share drive icon on the desktop. 

 

Any chance you have a different PC, like Windows to try this with?

    I had already tried that but I tried it again just in case. I'm still getting the same error. Sadly I do not have another computer to try this out on. My MacBook Pro is a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), Processor: 2.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5, and 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 of Memmory. I don't know if that will help out but I wanted to provide any information that I can to help resolve the issue.
