ReadyNAS Duo & SMB 1.0
Hi. I have a ReadyNAS Duo V1 which I have used for backups but due to the SMB 1.0 situation will be replacing it shortly. I also have SONOS S1 which will also not read my music from my Windows 10 PC ...
Many thanks for that. I just thought that since the ReadyNAS Duo does not require internet access then I might just as well block it.

NTP (time sync) does use internet access. You can live without it, but the real time clock will drift (and if the coin battery in the NAS is dead, the clock will be very wrong when the system powers up). Clock drift depends on a lot of factors, but could be several seconds per day. So you'd need to manually check it, and adjust as needed.
The only other function that uses the internet is check for update, which is no longer relevant.
Thanks again StephenB.
