Ready NAS 104 Network Name "?"

I recently updated to 6.10.1 and also Edited the Names of both my ReadyNAS 104 (all fine), I now see a Question Mark (? - NetworkName) in Finder Sidebar (Connected Servers). The APF looks fine / norm...

Hi StephenB,

I was previously using _ in the Host Name, hence the name edit, now its legal.

I also have a Windows 10 Surface Pro, this seems to be fine.

I'm seeing the same issue - a "?" before the NAS name in the Mac finder. The NAS names are just upper and lower case letters and numbers.

ReadyNAS OS 6.10.1

Mac OS Mojave 10.14.15

Finder obviously is flagging the name.

If you don't need AFP, then try disabling that in the NAS. Or just ignore it.

  Since I upgraded both the NAS and MAC OS at about the same time I'm not sure but my guess is that this is a Mojave (Mac) issue 'cause prior to Mojave things were fine.
  
  I did a bit of poking around and don't see how to change the icon for the NAS in the finder.

    Have you tried disabling AFP on the NAS?

    Hi All,
    
    OS 6.10.1 FW uses a version of SMB wherein they are using fruit module that enhances compatibility with SMB on Apple SMB clients and makes it work better. However, the issue with "?" is because of the module and if I got it right, they are now working to get this issue fixed but might be with the next release of FW (No ETA) but this should not hinder the operation of the NAS.
    
    Will try to get more information on this.
