READY NAS DUO. Do I need a Workgroup name ??

I have had a Ready Nap Duo unit for a Long time now.

I looking at my front view settings, I see a name for Workgroup.

I have a number of pc's and lap tops that connect to it and I don't believe that this existing workgroup name exists anywhere.

A Very OLD computer from a long time ago had this workgroup name, but nothing has it now.

 

Is there any advantage / disadvantage to my situation??

Thanks

    If you can access your files, then just leave well enough alone.
