Add Multiple Access Schedules
I am not sure how this is still NOT a fearure... Under Advanced>Security>Schedule, we should be able to setup multiple schedules for and it should even be per device. Currently, I can set only one schedule for all devices. This is very limiting compared to competing router options: D-Link, etc. I should be able to set MUTLIPLE access schedules on a per-device basis. For example, if I have two devices that I want to restrict when they can access the Internet, I should be able to state on device A it can access the Internet Sunday-Thursday from 4 pm - 10 pm and Friday-Saturday from 10 pm until 1 am. I should then be able to set a different schedule for device B, for example Sunday-Thursday from 6 pm - 11 pm and Friday-Saturday from 8 pm - 11 pm. How this feature wasn't implemented yesterday is beyond me???

EX7000 as Access Point - LAN port still usable ?
Hello Guys, By reading the User Manual before buying, I found something which annoying me... On page 19 from the User Manual, I found : In access point mode, you can connect your computer or WiFi device to the extender only using a WiFi connection. So... IF in Access Point mode, the 4 others LAN ports are not usable like a switch ? Isn't it ? Thanks for your time.

Folder Access to NAS
I have managed to set up my NAS fine, and it has been working brilliantly. I have set up my admin and primary user password but not added any other people's accounts. I have the ReadyNAS RN104 and running OS 6.6.1. I can map a network drive to folders and it asks for passwords but I have noticed that on other pc's on the same network, there is a Network Location for the ReadyNAS visible (with the Netgear logo) and any PC seems to be able to access this without need for an account, let alone a password. I have gone through the shares and edited the permissions to not be anonymous, and even as far as only admin account has access but the automatic network location can still access the files without any protection. I have already had one person access my files on the network without my permission and want to make sure there is only verified access. I can't find anywhere to turn off this 'device' appearing automatically and only allowing access after maping a drive or web access, or at the very least making sure it is password protected. Thanks for any help.

File Acces/ network access rights and current access denied of added users through the app
Hello, I have been struggling for the last couple of days with having a safe, limited accessed system but still providing access rights to the added users. Currently I have added 2 cloudusers. In readycloud I have provided them with read/write rights. I can see that back in my network access tab a the selected shared folder (e.g. Documents) in my Admin page, Shares, Documents, Settings --> Network access. Going one tab further to File Access (security), the Folder Owner and Folder Group are selected on Admin (For info) but not being able to put the boxes on at the added users (they are a kind of grey and cannot be selected) for read or read/write access. Next thing I tried was selecting everyone row giving access for read or read/write. After having selected this row as being activated, the users will have access. However, I prefer not providing everyone access since I do not know who is actually everyone... all users I added, or everyone? I also want to differentiate between the users (since some are very close (within the house) and other are close friends but still I would give them limited access (read only). Can you please help? Or differently stated: What would be the best way to setup my settings on the safest way but still being able to give different users different access rights to the same folder?

ReadyNAS 104 no accessible after to upgrade 6.9.1 and update PLEX
Hi all, The first thing is to say thank you very much in advance for your help. I have a RN104 since Nov.2015 with 4x6TB in RAID 5 (almost full) with both LAN connected with 2 IP. I upgraded the software to 6.9.1 at the begining of December and it was working ok but at the end of Dec I upgraded the APP Plex and it causes a problem in my RN. It is not accesible from any computer (Windows/Windows Explorer or Mac/Finder) it is visible but no accesible to any folder and also other folders are new in the root (admin, data and home) Plex is not detecting the Ready NAS Media Server and it is not possible to see nothing in Plex. NAS is accesible in the Admin page and all disk are working ok and also accessible in RAIDar 6.3.0 Ping from Mac with positive feedback. No working in ReadyCloud - Message is NAS doesn't have connection. What I have tried is: -first to reinstall Plex before to be aware the NAS is not accesible (many times but not possible to install). - I decided to reinstall Firmware from Boot Menu - I reinstall 6.9.1 from admin page - I dowgraded to 6.9.0 from admin page - I upgraded to 6.9.1 from admin page ... but nothing worked I really appreciate your help on this because a lot of info in my NAS I would like to preserve ... I am sending also the logs to the email. PS. Sorry about my English (I am from Spain)...

Windows 10 Enterprise: still no longer able to access NAS shares despite firmware v6.9.3 (followup)
Hi, This is a followup to below thread: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Windows-10-Install-no-longer-able-to-access-NAS-shares/m-p/1467864 Resume: - Windows 10 Entreprise disabled SMB access to shares requesting/proposing the guest credentials. It won't even prompt for a user/pass account - ReadyNAS change log: OS 6.9.2 will fix this from the developers statements by disabling guest access - Until now, we were obliged to add in windows 10 the NAS credentials under which we need to access the SMB shares Current state using 6.9.3 firmware: - I tried to remove the corresponding windows credentail in the NAS: conenction is broken. I still need to add in windows 10 enterprise the NAS account to access the shares. It is behaving like if the NAS is still proposing guest access to windows 10 Bug report: This issue that was reported is still not fixed under 6.9.3. Any technical explanation and why we still need to manually add a windows account to access a NAS share ?

Login to ReadyNAS / map a network drive
Hi all, I am own a ReadyNAS 2120v2 since some days and updated the OS to 6.24. The device is called 'altair' in my network'. The ReadyNAS has some shared folders with enabled SMB protocol. Now I have some trouble with accounts. I creates one called 'tl' with a password. Now when I try to open \\altair\ in the Windows Explorer and login with my admin credentials it will work fine. But if I try it with 'tl' and there credentials it does not work. I tested it in the browser to but it is the result - no access with 'tl'. PS: My Windows operating systems are Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 - it is the same problem on both OSs. What must I check to solve this problem?
