Hi,
I have tried SMB, and everything is turned on, along with network sharing.
Completely appreciate it is pretty old, it is a boxed new version from amazon but appreciate it is old tech. I am just unsure as to how it isnt showing on my network list as previously my cloud solutions have shown up fairly easily.
Will check what revision the drive is.
Thank you for your reply

Did you go into "turn windows features on or off" and make sure that the SMB 1.0/CIFS Client is enabled?

Also, set the NAS admin password to something other than the default (netgear1 for systems running 4.1.x firmware, password for systems running 5.3.x firmware). Then see what happens if you enter this in cmd:
net use * /delete /y net use z: \\nas-ip-address\C /user:admin nas-admin-password
using the real NAS ip address and the real NAS admin password of course. Be careful on the typing - particularly the two different slash directions.
The first command terminates any open SMB sessions, the second attempts to map the NAS data volume to drive letter Z.

With the below, I take it for the Nas address I just use the ip address in numbers eg \\192.168 ETC?
