Oh wow!! Thank you so much! 😃 I'll definitely look into openwrt 🙂

It's a Linksys model EA7300 router. It shows up to date on the firmware being at 1.0.11.200282.

I'm going to check my router again for firmware/software update, but I don't that it has support for newer SMB protocol.

Thank you all for the feedback! I posted the same on Reddit at the same time and haven't gotten any replies from Reddit yet. Looks like the power users came to Lemmy after the whole Reddit fiasco. 🙂 I'm liking it pretty well here so far. 🙂

Lol, I will need to become more familiar with how to use docker. I know how to use virtual box so I may try to run vm with 22.04. I'm still pretty new and starting my Linux Journey. 🙂

Ah....well crap. It is an old router. I checked for firmware updates on it, but I doubt that they'll bring in support for newer SMB versions. I may have to get a new router at some point. Thanks for the feedback!

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.

lol 😂

I'll try to do that tonight. 🙂

I'm trying Lemmy out. 🙂 I just installed KUbuntu 24.04 LTS.
