Netgear ReadyNAS Duo VEEEERY slow and can't be mounted in Windows Explorer
Hi, I've got a readyNAS Duo with firmware 4.1.16 since a couple of years that contain large quantities of very important information. If it did not I would have given up long time ago. 1st c...
One practical option is to enable FTP for the NAS shares, and then install FileZilla on the PC.
If you are running Windows 10, then you need to make sure the SMB 1/CIFS client is enabled. You do that by going into "turn windows features on or off" on the PC. You will get a security warning - but you have to enable that client in order to connect to your rather old NAS.
Once you are sure that SMB 1 is enabled, reboot the PC.
Then you can try mapping the full data volume by running CMD in the PC. You enter
net use * /delete /y net use t:\ \\nas-ip-address\C /user:admin nas-admin-password
Use the real IP address and NAS admin password of course, and be careful on the typing. The spaces and the two different slash directions matter.
Note that command won't work if your admin password is still set to the default netgear1.
