Ive tried nas/hassio, hassio, /hassio…etc

Ive tried with guest on and off, using correct password / login and also leaving it empty. Im lost for ideas as nothing appears to connect.
I cant locate any logged errors in the router interface.
Any suggestions or point out where Im going wrong?

Did you check you host logs for errors, like the message says?

Settings → System → Logs then select “Host” from the drop-down list top right of the page.

I am also having the same issues with setting this feature up on my Asus Router. I’ll check the logs and share findings.

Im having extactly the same problem, no problem from other OS to mount, but doesnt work in HA, not even in terminal. I can mount my Qnap NAS in HA, but not my Asus USB drive… Can it be something compability mode issue?

10

It’s case sensitive so NAS/hassio would be the correct path.
Other than that you need to make sure it support SMB 2.1 (or newer).

11

In terminal, if i add vers=1.0 it works… And with vers=2.0, but higher i get errors… So asus must use an older version of cifs…

12

I have submitted a support ticket at ASUS, i have a brand new RT-AX88U…

13

Yeah… do not expect them to change that anytime soon. Instead of adding the proper binaries needed to run it securely, they created an FAQ on how to work around it on Windows https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1037477/.

14

Can you provide the full command please?

15

Merlin adds support for SMB2.0 on ASUS. Has anyone tried that? I added it but still having issues. Not sure if that is just because of me failing in another way.

Also, yes, what is the command or where is the documentation on it?

16

For anyone looking for a fix 2023.7 allows you to connect to older SMB protocols, I tested with my RT-AC3100 running Merlin and it was able to connect fine. You have to try connecting once, when it fails the option to use the legacy versions of SMB become visible and you can set it there.
