Windows 8.1 can't see NAS

I had this exact same problem and I have a HACK fix which worked for me until Netgear fixes this issue with authentication.
I have multiple windows 8.1 workstations and they BOTH had this problem until this adjustment.
Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy
Local Policy -> Security Options -> Network security: LAN Manager authentication level
Adjust from: Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM & NTLM to Send NTLMv2 response only.
I DONT believe I had to reboot after this.
This fix allows LM and NTLM to work. I'm assuming that something is broken with the NTLMv2 protocol and adjusting allows windows to fallback to older methods.
NO This is not best practice and will NOT solve the problem for companies whom are following best practices and restricting windows authentication to NTLMv2.
