this thing ALLEGEDLY has the latest firmware, but protocol is stuck on SMBV1.5
Our backup software declares that this old protocol is INSECURE, and will not work with SMB lower than V3
Apparently there is a genie app that will allow changing the minimum SMB level, but this NAS has FAILED to configure the "genii app intialization". Didnt like the "MARKETPLACE" password , failed to connect, even though its the same credentials that work for the registration page, whihc shows this device as registered.
oddly enough, the same NETGEAR PROFILE page refuses to let me CHANGE the password ( fails!)
I must say I am not in favor of adding a new NAS to the landfill EVERY THREE YEARS, so it will be a cold day in hell before I ever authorize another purchase of any kind of NETGEAR equipment for any of our six companies.
I suggest that instead of introducing 16 new products EVERY YEAR - that you simply make 5 or 6 products and keep them upgraded for a more reasonable timeframe. The hardware itself will easily last a DECADE or TWO, and a RESPONSIBLE company would design for firmware updates accordingly, to provide a long service life AND REDUCE THE WASTE AND POLLUTION...
