Lost contact with NAS after upgrading Windows 10
I have recently upgraded Windows 10 on my computer and after the upgrade I appear to have lost contact with the NAS. When I click "Browse" in RAIDar I get the following error message (translated to E...
Options include
- Installing the SMB 1.0 client on your Windows system. You do this by going into "turn windows features on or off"
- Installing the NFS client in Windows and enable NFS in the NAS.
- Converting your NAS to run OS-6. This is unsupported by Netgear, but would give you SMB 3.0

The first option is advised against for safety reasons.
The second option is not ideal either, since one of the three computers connected to the NAS does not run Windows 10 Pro.
Remains the third option. Any instructions available on how to?
Note that nas-central.org isn't up anymore.
As I feared, the solution was somewhat above my technical level. I suppose there's no simple way to upgrade the existing system to handle SMB2?

The NAS does have an experimental flag that enabled an early implementation of SMB2. You'd need to use ssh and the linux command line to turn that flag on.
The concerns over SMB1 are more critical for enterprises than they are for home networks. I suggest just installing the SMB1 client for now. Later on you could upgrade to a newer NAS (which would also have up to date security patches), and then re-purpose your current NAS as a backup NAS.
