R7800 firmware update 1.0.2.36 broke Network Drive - unable to make backups.

A lot of R7800 owners have been complaining about this bug but so far we have not seen any software update to fix this problem.

I posted this problem on this Netgear support forum on 10/10/2017 (others posted earlier) and I have an open Netgear support case number on this bug. Besides the detailed information I provided Netgear in this post, I have twice sent Netgear emails with screenshots along with with details of this network drive problem.

It is taking Netgear way too long to fix this simple bug. With the information I provided in my post I showed that Voxel found this bug right after the 1.0.2.36 firmware was released by Netgear, diagnosed it, fixed it, and then released his excellent R7800 custom firmrware:

I find it very interesting that Voxel had no problem finding this Samba bug in the R7800 1.0.2.36 firmware and quickly fixed it before he released his custom firmware. Why can't Netgear fix it?
 
As I said before, the MAIN reason I (and others) bought a R7800 was for the network drive support. R7800 owners are forced to revert to version 1.0.2.32 just to get their network drive working again. This is not a good solution because now they are vulnerable to the security flaws fixed in version 1.0.2.36

What is it taking Netgear so long to provide R7800 owners a fix?
