RN102 OS 6.10.5 SMB2 howto?
Hello,
I thought that OS6 enabled SMB2, but the only way I can access my RN102 shares is if I add "vers=1.0" to the mount line. Other than that, the mount fails with "CIFS: VFS: Unable to select appropriate authentication method!". Is there any way to force-enable SMB2 on OS6/RN102?
Thank you

The NAS supports SMB 1, SMB 2, and SMB 3 by default. There is an SMB Plus app that gives you some extra controls.
But I think the problem is actually in your mount command. What is the full mount command you are using? If it includes sec=, try leaving that part out.
Installed and ran SMB plus, and changed the max SMB from 1 to 3.1.1... No idea why it was stuck on 1. Fixed now. Thanks!
