Unable to browse my RN314 NAS in W10 file explorer
I just set up my ReadyNAS 314 in a new apartment. In my previous apartment I was running an ethernet cable between my computer and my NAS, but here I don't have that luxury, so I'm trying to set up w...
OS6 supports SMB 3.0 - so SMB 1.0 isn't needed on your client PCs. Do confirm that the NAS and PCs are in the same workgroup, and that the wifi connection is classified as private by the PC.
Try this experiment...
Run CMD and enter
net use * /delete
net use t: \\nas-ip-address\data /user:admin nas-admin-password
using the real NAS ip address and admin password. If you use flexraid, change "data" to the actual data volume name of your NAS. Be careful to use the correct slash directions and with the placement of the spaces.
The first command ends any open SMB sessions in the PC. If it prompts, let it proceed. The second command attempts to mount the NAS data volume as drive letter T.
If these commands work, then the solution is to make sure that the PCs are using valid NAS credentials. There are two ways to do this - one is to enter the credentials of a NAS user account into the Windows Credential Manager. The other is to create a NAS user account that matches the username/password of each PC logon. I prefer the first way myself.

Thanks! For some reason when I first did that it refused my password, so I logged back into the admin page and changed it to something else, and it worked.
