RN626x: Security database on the server does not have a computer.... error
Hello all,
So I am having a really weird issue with my Netgear. It was working fine than all of sudden I can't connect to any of my folders and gives an error of "The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship". It's conencted via AD and when I try to rejoin the domain and it will usually error out but when it sucessfully joins I still get the same error.
The really weird thing is most of the time while it's trying to join the domain, it starts to work again. The moment it errors out or even successfully joins, than it stops working and I get that error message. If I keep doing it over and over, it'll eventually work but sooner or later we lose access again in the near future.
Need help to figure out what is going on.
Thank you

One cause here is the date and time settings.
So maybe start by checking that the date and time on both the NAS and the PC are correct (including checking that daylight savings time change was applied to both the NAS and the PC).

Date and time are correct, it's syncing with our domain controller.
Time is correct on both the NAS and the PC?
There are a couple of other suggestions here: https://www.minitool.com/news/security-database-on-server-doesnt-have-computer-account.html
