There could well be a bug there. JohnCM_S , Marc_V - can you check if this is a known problem?

I have this problem... it occured in 10.1. I asked Netgear to investigate and come up with a solution.. I mapped all accesses by IP address is the meantime. i was told that it is some kind of windows 10 security access problem... Never did get an answer to it!!!
I have also upgraded to 10.2 (RN202) and it all works as before EXCEPT the media streamers via readyDLNA. I have 3 devices I use to stream video and music. Now I none see the server, I have tried reboot, disable DLNA restart it, nothing seems to work... any Ideas?

Are you using LACP? If you aren't, then your problem is completely different (and the OP says his problem does not occur in 6.10.1).
