SMBv1 disabled - Readyshare unavailable

Disabled SMBv1 protocol on win 10, as has been recommended since recent ransomware attacks. Running V1.0.9.6_1.2.19 firmware on Netgear R7000. Readyshare is not available without SMBv1. My question is, can firmware fix this problem, either a Netgear update or a change to ddwrt or tomato firmware? Or is this impossible with the hardware available in the router?

No to enable it would you open your self to the attacks that removing it fixed.

The issue is with Windows and removing SMBv1 fixed as far Windows is curtained

A nas server would solve the issue but not cheap.

Yeah, got a raspberry pi in mind for a nas but, that readyshare is just so darn easy. So, SMBv3 is not possible on this router?

I would think that the hardware side of the router could handle it so may be one day the software side will be able to handle it.

Re: SMBv1 disabled - Readyshare unavailable

As already mentioned, SMBv1 was disabled by Microsoft. It had been depricated for a while already so it's really up to Netgear to update their software to become compliant with SMBV2.02.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4034314/smbv1-is-not-installed-windows-10-and-windows-serve...

 

I was fine on a machine that wsn't upgraded yet to the Fall Creator Update, but once I did, no more ReadyShare.

 

Hopefully Netgear will push out an update shortly that fixes this issue, because I liked ReadyShare and now have USB drive hanging on my router that only an IPad and 2 Android phones can work with.

 

Summary

In Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and Windows Server, version 1709 (RS3), the Server Message Block version 1 (SMBv1) network protocol is no longer installed by default. It was superseded by SMBv2 and later protocols starting in 2007. Microsoft publicly deprecated the SMBv1 protocol in 2014.

 

SMBv1 has the following behavior in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and Windows Server, version 1709 (RS3):

  • SMBv1 now has both client and server sub-features that can be uninstalled separately.
  • Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education no longer contain the SMBv1 client or server by default after a clean installation.
  • Windows Server 2016 no longer contains the SMBv1 client or server by default after a clean installation.
  • Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Professional no longer contain the SMBv1 server by default after a clean installation.
  • Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Professional still contain the SMBv1 client by default after a clean installation. If the SMBv1 client is not used for 15 days in total (excluding the computer being turned off), it automatically uninstalls itself.
  • In-place upgrades and Insider flights of Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Professional do not automatically remove SMB1 initially. If the SMBv1 client or server is not used for 15 days in total (excluding the time during which the computer is off), they each automatically uninstall themselves. 
  • In-place upgrades and Insider flights of Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education do not automatically remove SMB1. An administrator must decide to uninstall SMB1 in these managed environments.
  • Automatic removal of SMB1 after 15 days is a one-time operation. If an administrator re-installs SMB1, no further attempts will be made to uninstall it.
  • The SMB version 2.02, 2.1, 3.0, 3.02, and 3.1.1 features are still fully supported and included by default as part of the SMBv2 binaries.
  • Because the Computer Browser service relies on SMBv1, the service is uninstalled if the SMBv1 client or server is uninstalled. This means that Explorer Network can no longer display Windows computers through the legacy NetBIOS datagram browsing method.
  • SMBv1 can still be reinstalled in all editions of Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016.

If you try to connect to devices that support only SMBv1, or if these devices try to connect to you, you may receive one of the following errors messages:

You can't connect to the file share because it's not secure. This share requires the obsolete SMB1 protocol, which is unsafe and could expose your system to attack.
Your system requires SMB2 or higher. For more info on resolving this issue, see: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=852747

The specified network name is no longer available.

Unspecified error 0x80004005

System Error 64

The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.

Error 58
