Help! Win shares on a different subnet?

Oh, two more suggestions:

If you DO want to be able to roam around your house,

– On BOTH APs:  Set the SSID and Security Settings and Credentials EXACTLY the same.   

– Choose DIFFERENT channels for both;   1 & 6, 6 & 11, or 1 & 11 for 2.4 GHz.

I tried NFS and it actually works! But. Only if your server supports advertises it’s exports -

FreeNFS won’t work, HaneWIN will. You still have to set up port forwarding to 3 ports TCP/UDP

but otherwise no worries!

Ahh!  That makes sense.   I guess the WD is doing an RPC SCAN of the subnet first, before it sends the export request. – The port forward would indeed make that work.  Good to know!
