From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You used to connect without a password, right?
In KUbuntu 22.04 LTS I had to put in my username and password in settings under "Windows Shares" for it to work. I had password protected the folders in the NAS when I was setting it up in my routers settings page.
whats the router?
It's a Linksys model EA7300 router. It shows up to date on the firmware being at 1.0.11.200282.
hardware version?
e: i looked and there's only v1 and v2 and they're both supported by openwrt. you can use the openwrt alternative router firmware to enable many more options and abilities. your router is dual firmware too, so it's possible to keep the old one installed in case you wanna jump back to it.
you can (when you feel like it) make your router into a real-ass linux based gateway router that does all kinds of crazy shit like lets you use SMB2 and up to access files shared from it and other things
install openwrt on v1
install openwrt on v2
setup samba filesharing on openwrt
Oh wow!! Thank you so much! 😃 I'll definitely look into openwrt 🙂
Take your time and don’t rush, make sure you understand what you’re trying to do and how to do it. Double check that everything still works and verify that you know how to get to the “b” firmware incase you screw up the “a”. Verify that the “b” is configured appropriately.
