Readynas DUO2 SMB V3 won't activate
Argh!! this thing ALLEGEDLY has the latest firmware, but protocol is stuck on SMBV1.5 Our backup software declares that this old protocol is INSECURE, and will not work with SMB lower than V3 ...

Thanks very much for the info.
I must say I am not in favor of adding a new NAS to the landfill EVERY THREE YEARS, so it will be a cold day in hell before I ever authorize another purchase of any kind of NETGEAR equipment for any of our six companies.
I suggest that instead of introducing 16 new products EVERY YEAR - that you simply make 5 or 6 products and keep them upgraded for a more reasonable timeframe. The hardware itself will easily last a DECADE or TWO, and a RESPONSIBLE company would design for firmware updates accordingly, to provide a long service life AND REDUCE THE WASTE AND POLLUTION...

That’s the latest firmware for your NAS.
The Duo V2 is beyond the security support period. We have no plans for any further firmware updates for it.
Based on that date you purchased your Duo V2 after we’d refreshed our product lineup with newer models with revolutionary changes.
