BACKGROUND: I love my RT-AC56R. It works well 90% of the time. Thinking I could extend its life a bit, I installed FreshTomato on it. Bad move. Way too complicated and I found that configuring a 2nd guest network would literally remove internet access from the ethernet ports. So after going down an endless rabbithole of trying to downgrade / backgrade, I finally managed to do so by installing Asuswrt-Merlin on it. I managed to bring it all the way to 384.6.
PROBLEM: No matter what I do, I cannot get Samba to work correctly when guest access is turned OFF. It works fine with guest access ON.
I can add the user nam
e and password just fine to the access lists. I attempt to map the network drive (ie. \\<routername>\) and browse to the folder (ie. Documents). However, when I put in the user name & password, Windows 10 gives me "Access denied". I have tried different levels of SAMBA. Set Master Browser yes/no. Simpler share naming yes/no. (Not touching Wins server). What am I doing wrong? This used to work under ASUSWRT firmware BUT I had to enable SMB 1.0. It would be nice to use the Merlin firmware since it's got Samba 2.
SYSTEM: I am running a new HP Envy, Windows 10 Home, 20H2. The drive off the router is a 2TB Seagate in a generic USB 3.0 enclosure. I am directly connected via ethernet to LAN1 port.
HELP!!
