ReadyNAS NV+ - The remote device or resource will not accept the connection
I'm having trouble connecting to my ReadyNas NV+ via WiFi using Windows Explorer in Windows 10. Can access Frontview through Chrome, but for some reason I can no longer access the ReadyNas through Windows Explorer. Tried accessing with
\\readynas and \\192,168.0.2
When I run Windows Network Diagnostics, I get the error message "The remote resource or device won't accept the connection"

Hi pimpyoda,
Please verify if SMBv1 is enabled on your Windows 10 computer. You can enable SMBv1 by following these steps:
- Search in the start menu for ‘Turn Windows features on or off’ and open it
- Search for ‘SMB1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support’ in the list of optional features that appears, and select the checkbox next to it, then click OK.
If it is already enabled and you still have the same issue, can you check if you have the same issue when the computer is connected via Ethernet?
Regards,

Regards,Hi,
Sorry for the delayed response. I had to order some cables for this.
SMB was already enabled except SMB 1.0/CIFS Server was not checked. I tried checking it and rebooting, but it still did not work. Automatic Removal and Client options were already checked.
I attached my laptop to the router via Ethernet and it still did not work. Got the same error.
I also tried to connect a USB cable to the USB port to see if I could access it that way, but I guess the USB port is just for backing up data from flash drives.

and connecting a UPS.
But not for connecting to a PC.

There's no need to enable SMB 1 server on the PC.
Can you try this:
Open CMD on the PC and enter
net use * /delete /y net use t: \\192.168.0.2\C /user:admin nas-admin-password
using the real admin password of course. Be careful on the typing, particularly slashes and spaces.
The first command will terminate any open SMB sessions on the PC. The second will attempt to map the C volume to drive letter T.
Note this will not work if the NAS is using the default admin password (netgear1 on the original NV+, password on the NV+ v2).
