AC1200 R6120 ROUTER SMB2 compatibility

[WTFord]

Windows stopped seeing my  external HD  when SMB1 was disabled by MS.   The router sees the HD.

I Windows sees the HD if I enable SMB1 but I'd prefer to use a more modern version of SMB for security reasons.  

Is this router compatible with SMB2?   Is my HD the issue?

Firmware V1.0.0.44

Windows 10 home version 1803

Hi @WTFord,

Welcome to the community!

As confirmed by engineering, the device has flash size limitation which does not allow the implementation of SMBv2.
