Cannot login to share when it's protected by password

Question

Hi,
&nbsp;
I read a few topics related with this issue, but I failed. I have shares on my NAS, that I would like to have private and protected with password. I created shares and users in “Security”, each user has unique name, different than share name and windows login. Then I untick “Allow anonymous access”, and “Read/Write” box next to “Everyone”, and put a tick against my user name, for this share. Then when I try to map this disc or try to get there through net shares, I am asked for Enter Network Password in a windows security popup. I input the password and user, and it won’t go through then. I tried windows password and user, and some other combinations, and nothing works. I checked windows credential manager, there is nothing because I didn’t save anything, so I have no idea how to resolve this. I don’t understand how such simple thing cannot work properly, is this NAS so bugged that it’s not possible to use it normally ?
&nbsp;
Here is my setup:
&nbsp;
Windows 10 pro
ReadyNAS duo v2
Radiator 5.3.13
&nbsp;
Thank you.

Your NAS requires the use of SMB 1, which Microsoft is deprecating.&nbsp; Try going into "turn windows features on or off" on the PC, and enable/reinstall the SMB 1 client.
&nbsp;
Note SMB 1 isn't a secure protocol, but you'll need it anyway.&nbsp; In my view the risk on a home network is small.

Hi StephenB, from several posts I learned, that you recommended to overcome various problems related to Radiator firmware by upgrading it to OS6. Please correct me, but would that not also be a valid option in Ayahuasca's case?

He has a duo v2, so converting to OS-6 not an option for him.&nbsp; It would be if he had an Ultra or a Pro.

Thank you for your replies,

Yes, I have the last firmware available and cannot upgrade it. I was thinking about this samba, because windows 10 doesn't support v1 and yes I had to added it, and I tried to uninstall and install this again as you said, but it doesn't work still, and I see it's worse even because I cannot do anything with data which is on one previously protected share. I cannot rename folders, delete etc. as it requires some "Unix permissions" so it seems there is a problem with file attributes so I think there is no point to use this NAS more.
&nbsp;
I don't understand Netgear policy, cannot they at least update samba protocol in this device ? it would work still fine. I know they don't want, because it's better for them if someone buy new device, for what update the old one. But for example old D-link DNS-320L has samba v1 too, and there is alternative firmware with samba v3, or even addon with samba v3 update, and for this netgear what is ? nothing. I won't buy any netgear device again, without support and updates buying such electronic equipment is not long term investment.
&nbsp;
Thank you for your help.

Well, Ayahuasca, I did not try, but you could run a virtual Windows8 machine on your Windows10 workstation to do the necessary. Just an idea. Depends a bit on how intensively you need to use this nas.
Kind regards
