Odd because that is the IP address that Windows is showing for the NAS in your screenshot. You might want to double-check that IP address.
In any event, Netgear discontinued your NAS back in November 2011, so it is at least 12 years old. It was a good NAS its day, but that was a long time ago. The transfer speed for large files is around 20 MB/s, so about what you'd expect from a USB-2 drive. So if you are looking for good performance, you probably should get a current NAS instead.
Note the v2 you thought you were getting was discontinued in 2013, so it would also be outdated.
Do you think the HTTPS is the issue?
When I double click on my Duo in File Explorer, I do get the shares (sort of). I do have ReadyDLNA enabled so it shows the Music, Pictures and Video folders (under my Media Share). Browse folders has the Media and Backups Shares (also visible under the tree in the left nav pane.
I did apply the workaround regarding the Virtual.conf file so mine show http://<ip-address>.
If I look at the properties of the Duo in Explorer I see this (note mine says HTTP:)
Alfred_manner is clicking on the storage icon for the NAS in Windows. Which will open the default browser to the web admin ui (frontview) - not the shares list.
If you mean this one, mine opens the to the folders in my previous post.
