4.1.7 Slow To Respond To SMB Network Discovery...
Hi, Since upgrading my DUO to 4.1.7 I have noticed that the DUO is *very* slow to respond SMB/SAMBA network share enumeration requests. It may take up to about a minute for the DUO to provide its ...
Hi Mdgm,
The NoSMBDisconnect add-on will not fix the problem. Its documented functionality indicates that it may possibly camouflage the issue. The add-on will likely cause its own issues over time. This add-on was *NOT* required for the previous firmware release why should it be required now? I asked Netgear a direct question regarding the suggestion but they have not given me the courtesy of a reply.
I, for one, offered Netgear direct access to my network so that they could see the bug in action. They have, to date, never taken me up on the offer. This seems to indicate that they already have an example of the problem, know what the issue is and haven't/can't fix it or they have a significant lack of interest in identifying or fixing the problem. What ever the case they are handling this issue very poorly.
The length and number of reads of this thread indicate that there is some interest in the topic. There are also a number of threads with similar content. Perhaps some users may choose to not post but are monitoring the thread for an answer. I suspect that the issue is more widespread than your post would suggest.
Regards,
Ian.
