4.1.7 Slow To Respond To SMB Network Discovery...

I can understand the frustration of not getting enough and adequate respons to a Samba problem ... but if it is so important to you, why would you want to move the NV to a family member ??? Not only will you be burdened with the complaints that family member will have .. but he/she will probably blaim you for selling/giving him/her a product with which you yourself weren't very satisfied??

I've left it on 4.1.6 because of all the problems surrounding 4.1.7, and also this version works fine for what most people need/require. Some of the benefits in 4.1.7 I personally would have found useful (better rsync options etc.) but it's not a must-have upgrade for most ordinary users.

I would very much like to upgrade to 4.1.7 while I still have the NV, but that's out of the question while these issues remain and judging by the current response level from Netgear, a fix isn't likely.

PS. It would have been gifted to family members. And I would have warned them not to upgrade it from 4.1.6 on threat of being written out of my will. :)
