Hi All, I have a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ v2 that I set up back in 2012. On this drive I have stored a lot of old documents such as backup's of all my Uni notes etc. I havent used the NAS in a few ye...
Not sure why you are getting the 403 error. Is there internet security software running on the PC?
The shares on your NAS use the SMB 1 protocol, which is also being deprecated. If you are using windows, go into "turn Windows Features on or off", and enable the SMB 1 client on the PC. You'll get a security warning, but you'll need to proceed anyway. Then entering \\nas-ip-address in the file explorer address bar (using the the real IP address of course) should give you the share list.

Hi Stephen,
I am now also seeing issues connecting to my older ReadNAS units. This problem only started recently after updates to the common browsers. For example Chrome now reports:
This site can’t provide a secure connection
xxx.xxx.com uses an unsupported protocol.
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH
Hide details
Unsupported protocol
The client and server don't support a common SSL protocol version or cipher suite.
Edge reports:
The connection for this site is not secure
xxx.xxx.com uses an unsupported protocol.
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH
Hide details
Unsupported protocol
The client and server don't support a common SSL protocol version or cipher suite.
I can successfully connect with Internet Explorer but Microsoft will be disabling this in the next few weeks. Is there anything that can be done to keep these NAS boxes connected? I assume that this is just a case of some expired certificates.
My ReadyNAS NVX and Pro 6 are still running fine, even though I need SMB1, and I would like to keep using them for as long as the hardware lasts. In this day of climate change concerns I think it is unacceptable and ridiculous to throw away perfectly acceptable and working hardware because the manufacturer wants us to buy newer models. Can you please see if Netgear would consider becoming green and politically correct by granting us some minimal updates to keep these boxes as part of our networks.
Regards,
Ian.
