AC2000 WAC124 How do I enable smb2
I am having issues getting Map Network Drive to work on my AC2000.
the map is OK, the drive is connected to the AC2000 without any issues.
When I go to map the drive I get an error message back about running smb1 and how it isn't secure. That I should be running smb2.
Any way to enable smb2 on the AC2000
Thanks,
Jim

That's a Windows thing. Where did you see the error message?
No point in following strange advice to dive down a blackhole of a different section here.
