    SMB2 share connects with macOS and android, but not Windows 10

    Ding! Ding! Ding! \\192.168.50.1\foldername (at sda1) was the answer for Windows 10 PC! Thank you so much - this issue is now resolved!

    SMB2 share connects with macOS and android, but not Windows 10

    It didn't work (see attached). I also tried it on another folder within another drive labeled with my name (instead of sda1) - same issue. Funny thing is the moment I turn on "allow guest login" it works perfectly fine. I also no longer get the original error about "network mapped with another...

    SMB2 share connects with macOS and android, but not Windows 10

    Wish it did, but there shouldn't any risk as long as I trust all internet connected devices on my LAN, right?

    SMB2 share connects with macOS and android, but not Windows 10

    It was not mapped in Windows previously. I tried playing around with "net use" in cmd but it showed no entries in the list. meanwhile "net view \\IP address" did show the different shares. Restarting the computer didn't make a difference. I elected to enable "allow guest login" since my WiFi is...

    Keep RT-AC66U_B1 or get something else

    I had good experience at a family member's apartment with the RT-AC66U_B1 so I recently purchased one myself for my apartment. My current ISP provides 250 mbps down, but I will be upgrading with a different ISP that will give me 500 down and 500 up. My apartment is 750 sqft Will the AC66U_B1 be...

    trouble with SAMBA user authentication

    @djs5916 I'd like to avoid enabling SMB1 if possible given supposed security issues (I'm not too familiar with them but if SMB2 can work would be better) @bennor I was able to flash successfully - thank you for your help

    SMB2 share connects with macOS and android, but not Windows 10

    I was recently able to flash my RT-AC66U_B1 to Merlin version 386.1. I set up an OpenVPN server and successfully can connect remotely with my MacBook, my Pixel phone, and my Windows 10 desktop In my USB Application - Network Place (Samba) Share / Cloud Disk settings, I have the following...

    trouble with SAMBA user authentication

    @crkpot Thank you for pointing out that the firmware installed is still the official Asus - I am not sure why this would be the case as I tried to flash the latest Merlin firmware. Is there any reason the Merlin firmware didn't take hold? @bennor I have an RT-AC66U_B1; the Merlin download...

    trouble with SAMBA user authentication

    I have a RT-AC66U_B1 with a 2 terabyte HDD connected via USB I use the HDD as DLNA server, and I VPN (via OpenVPN server set-up) to transfer files occasionally to this HDD I tried to set up SAMBA with "Allow guest login" off, and I created a username with R/W checked off for all the folders of...

    Small apartment extend WiFi

    Do you think the RT-AC66U would be enough for this scenario? I can get one for free from family

    Small apartment extend WiFi

    When I get FIOS installed, I will try to put the router in the middle of the L - I have a foyer table where I can probably clear up some real estate I actually currently use a powerline for my desktop (there were issues where the internet would drop a few seconds at a time despite WiFi...

    Small apartment extend WiFi

    My apartment is L-shaped and is 750 sqft. My building is a mix of poured concrete, something similar to cinderblocks, and steel according to management There are windows on both inner sides of the L (i.e., I could look from my bedroom window into my living room window, where I can see the...
