RN104 - Windows 8.1
I have my RN104 on wired network with every PC in our business. We currently have 2 Windows 8 PC's, 15-20 Windows 7 PC's that all connect without issue. I recently built a new 8.1 Pro x64 machine ...
Just something else to try to test connectivity (and might lead to an answer):
From the 8.1 machine, open a file explorer window. Find the "Map Network Drive" option. (On my machine, it's "Alt-C", "N". Assuming you NAS is named "NAS-RN104", enter "\\NAS-RN104\data" as the folder, and select "connect using different credentials." For the different credentials, type "NAS-RN104\admin" as the username and the password for the web admin account used on the NAS. (If that doesn't work, try just "admin" as the username... I forget which way works, and it probably depends on if the NAS is on a domain or not.)
