Today I upgraded the QNAP software to the latest QTS 5.0.1 and it forced the use of SMB 2.0. This level of security meant my 105D could no longer access video files on my NAS (but could access music from Minimserver). I read in the notes that I could change the "lowest SMB version" to 1.0, which I did, and all is working again.
Questions:
1. I think I have effectively cut off all WAN access to the NAS, but SMB was the vector for some of the earlier QNAP exploits. Am I putting my data at risk?
2. I've been thinking about upgrading to an Oppo 203. Does anyone know of the Oppo 203 might support SMB 2.0?
3. Given the above, am I foolish to even contemplate any Oppo products given they are abandonware now? The control point apps for the 10x and 20x players are no longer available on the Play Store. They are unquestionably great sounding and looking players. I've often wondered if I should look at a Denon etc rather than sticking with these potential security risks on my network. I only use the OPPO to play video to my 1080p plasma. What would be the latest equivalent of an OPPO...that would last, and be supported for a decade? While this is beyond the boundaries of this subforum any advice would be much appreciated.
