RND4000 (ReadyNAS NV+ no longer visible from Network wirelessly after 5 years - frontend works fine
seemingly out of the blue both my windows7 and windows10 laptops can no longer access my readyNas VN+. I've tried rebooting laptops... NAS, and modem... turned off everything in the network and back on... updated Nas firmware to RAIDiator 4.1.16 [1.00a043] .
My current configuration which has worked for 3 years now is wireless using modem and wireless booster...then ethernet from booster to hub and then ethernet to Nas....
All other devices connected to the hub are working fine...
I have not tried connecting laptop and NAS directly to modem...
It would be a good time to make a backup.

Are you saying that you can log into the web ui ( https://nas-ip-address/admin ), but you can't access the windows shares?
If so, look at "turn windows features on or off" in the Windows 10 PC, and see if the SMB 1.0/CIFS client is installed. If it isn't, then reinstall it, reboot the PC, and try accessing the NAS shares again.
Ok.. I checked the SMB and it was not active... I activated and restarted... same symptoms... forgot to mention that I can see other computers on the network... only the NAS is not visible
There's Windows Discovery (seeing the NAS in the network list), and actual SMB access (reading/writing the files). They are very different things.
You can easily work around discovery problems, but you cannot work around access problems. So let's get access working first.
So concentrate on entering \\nas-ip-address into windows explorer, and making sure you can access the files.
