Puzzling access to an "old" ReadyNAS Ultra 2
Hi everybody, I am currently facing an issue with my "old" ReadyNAS Ultra 2 (bought in 2012...) that so far worked well and where I backed-up a while ago (i.e. 3 years ago or so...), valuable fil...
Hello Michael,
Thank you so much for the advice that prove highly valuable !
I just went to "https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Network-Storage/ct-p/readynas", as suggested.
I found a post that sounds like being related to my issues : "Cannot access shares via Windows Explorer (Readynas Ultra2)"
And then reading the way things were fixed, I saw that I could (should in fact) investigate whether "SMB1" was checked as a feature of INDOWS or not.
Guesse what, it was unchecked...
Ultimately, after checking and reboot of the Pc... every thing is now fixed. I have just finished a back-up of additional files on my ReadyNAS Ultra 2.
Many thanks, and have a nice week-end !!

While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, you aren't asking about routers, some things need specialist knowledge.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
ReadyNAS Network Storage: Official NETGEAR Community
You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.
I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
Check for various troubleshooting tips.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

Aha. That one. It also applies to people who use ReadySHARE to attach USB drives to routers.
