Unable to access RN304 and RN102

Dear Forum Members

After that big Microsoft update, a few days ago, I found that my ReadyNAS devices, the RN102 and RN104, could no longer connect to my Windows 11 file/windows explorer.

Stunned and (a little bit) shocked, I wondered if this was the end of my ReadyNAS devices and usage, with all my important family data (and other stuff) being locked away forever.

So, in desperation, I came back to this forum looking for a possible solution, but all the time being worried that a solution may not exist yet because the MS update was so recent. Anyway, I pushed on and found this YouTube video posted by forum member notspam.

I carefully, but nervously, followed the video's instructions letter by letter and, to my total amazement, it worked. I have now regained access to my RN102 and RN104, while still keeping access to my RNDuoV2s.

Therefore, I must thank the original YouTube poster for making his instructions so clear and easy to follow, which helped to navigate into the "weeds" of Windows 11 without getting lost or causing more damage, and special thanks to notspam for finding this solution and posting it in this forum.

Cheers
