Tried to install My Passport thru Netgear router to home network with desktop running Windows 10. Got a error message stating that My Passport was using SMBv1 network protocol and it is no longer supported by Microsoft because of all the security issues. Says that I need to install SMBv2.02. Can’t f…

See this recent link;s last comment. [image] WD TV Live Streaming Media Player, Windows 10, SMB v1 network protocol WD TV Live Streaming Hi Everyone, I too am now having a problem with my WD Live unit since my desktop computer updated to MS Windows 10 Fall Creators. I ha…

I also have a “SMB1” problem with my MyPassport Wireless Pro, and whilst I can connect to the dashboard I can’t read/write the data on the drive from Windows via Wifi. The error message from Windows 10 Fall Creators is: "You can’t connect to the file share because it’s not secure. The share require…

I’m having the same issue with my newly purchased My Passport. I bought it specifically to connect to my router, so this is a bad purchase for me unless WD updates the firmware.

This is odd. It seems to work for me. I have two PC’s at home. . .One of them updated (more or less against my will) to the fall creators update this week. The other is on the older Creators update version. After reading this thread, I fired up the two PC’s, and two passport wireless units (one is…

I agree. WD should support the better SMB2 protocol. I do not want to enable SMB1 on my Win 10 systems https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/current-activity/2017/01/16/SMB-Security-Best-Practices

Am I correct in think that the recent v1.04.17 firmware does NOT fix the SMB1 security hole? There is no reference to it in the release notes. If so, when can we expect firmware that does address this issue?

What is going on here? I have a email out to WD now asking about any new firmware. I attempted to disable or enable SMB1 in the windows features controls. restarted the computer. and am still having issues I have a windows 10 surface pro 3— Passport IS accessible from the router And a HP Spectre r…

OK, but this is only a security hole for the wireless device. The fact the wireless device has no password authentication except for your wifi password is another issue that’s bigger than this. If you want to, you should enable SMB1 client on your Windows 10 PC so you can browse to the drive via U…

The mentioned solution to enable SMB1 again, is just a workaround which may only be possible for private usage. And even in this aera enabling SMB1 is not the best choice. Due to the current security recommendations, reenabling SMB1 is not an option. SMB2 is actual the world wide standard at this p…

I do not have this problem, since my network was set up with a Win 7, my Win 10 is not even on much of the time. Not sure what people are doing to cause this issue. but I want to see if I can replicate it on watching videos from my WD My Cloud NAS. So far, not an issue.
