    QNAP NAS Missing from Windows File Explorer "Network"

    I wanted to let EVERYONE know how much I appreciated all of the help trying to get this ASUS RT-AC88U to work with my QNAP NAS. I have officially given up on it especially since the help here FAR EXCEEDED the "technical support" I got from ASUS. I should have my new Netgear Nighthawk X1o on...

    Thank you for this post. I downloaded and ran the lanscan app and YES...I did find that I had two master browsers active. I disabled the master brower on my main PC so that ONLY the QNAP NAS was the master browser. I ran lanscan again and verified that there now was only ONE master browser...

    QNAP NAS Missing from Windows File Explorer "Network"

    I am TOTALLY blown away....the people at the ASUS support center have LESS technical knowledge than salespeople at BEST BUY!!! I just explained the same issue to one of them and they told me I could only map network drives from my computer!!! DUH!!!

    QNAP NAS Missing from Windows File Explorer "Network"

    Thanks for the response. YES..I am running QTS 4.3.3 I am a bit confused regarding the Samba instance. As I stated, when I put back the Dlink DIR-868L router, the QNAP once again appears in my "Network" tab and where do I find the option to make QTS the SMB Master Browser? THANKS
