RND2000v1 (ReadyNAS Duo v1) alternate protocol (trying to get rid of SMBv1)
I have 2 2012R2 servers and WIN 7 or WIN 10 PCs only in this network. I want to disable SMBv1 for security purposes. Is there an alternative protocol I can use so my PCs and Servers can access this...
I would not expect an SMB update to OS 4.x or 5.x systems. You can alternatly use NFS (if you are using Windows 10 Pro), FTP, or WebDAV. I have seen articles that say NFS doesn't work right with credentials on Win10 and you have to allow anonymous access, but that may have been fixed since they were written.

Actually mdgm-ntgr says differently here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Any-plans-for-Samba-fix-for-CVE-2017-7494/m-p/1290213/highlight/true#M130544

No, he said they are not updating SMB versions "at this time" and would later for OS6. He left hanging whether they would update OS4.x or 5.x. Given that those are based on obsolete versions of Debian, I wouldn't hold my breath to see if they do.
However, the patch being installed may provide an alternate solution to turning off SMB.

Maybe we are using "update" in two different senses. I wasn't meaining to say that SMB would be upgraded to a newer version on the legacy NAS, just that the fix for the CVE would be backported to them.
That's based on this statement by mdgm: "We've built firmware with the patch for CVE-2017-7494 for legacy models as well. Once they have undergone QA testing, I believe we plan to release those updates as well:"
