If your NAS is older and does not provide the SMB2 option, it will be necessary to enable SMB1 on the Windows system. Once this is done it may be necessary to restart the Windows client system in order to access the NAS using SMB2. If it isn’t, click the “Edit” button.ģ. Click the radio button to enable the SMB2 protocol and click the “OK” button. Please keep in mind that doing so will expose the system to additional security risk.īefore taking this step, make sure that SMB version 2 is enabled on the NAS.ġ. Open the web interface click the configuration button next to “SMB”.Ģ. Note whether the SMB2 protocol is enabled. In order for this to work, it’s necessary to re-enable the SMB version 1 protocol. However, we understand that many users want to continue to use their existing NAS. All current Buffalo NAS units support SMB version 2 at a minimum, and the TS3010/TS3020/TS5010/TS6000/LS700 series support SMB version 3, which is currently the newest version of the SMB protocol. It is therefore recommended that data on these units be migrated to a newer platform and the older NAS retired. Currently there is no plan to update these older NAS devices to add support for newer SMB versions. Most older Buffalo NAS devices do not support SMB version 2 or above. The reason for this is this early version of the SMB protocol is inherently insecure and is considered a security risk. In the latest updates for Windows 10 (and possibly other Windows versions, including Server 2016) Microsoft disabled the SMB version 1 protocol.
