I have two Asus routers, one in router mode (192.168.0.1), the other in AP mode (192.168.0.2). Both have external HDDs connected through USB & shared through SMB. On my Win10 machine I can access both shares. On my Win11 machine I cannot access the one connected to the AP router (Windows cannot access \\my-share)

arp -a on Win11 shows both routers' IP, I can access the admin page of both.

net view on Win 11 also shows both shares, but this call gives error for the problematic share:

C:\Users>net view \\my-share
System error 53 has occurred.

Also:

C:\Users>ping -a 192.168.0.2

Pinging 192-168-0-2.my_isp_web_address 
...

shows this strange address (where my_isp_web_address is the domain name of my ISP) instead of the device name as it does for the other router and devices.

What is going on?

UPDATE: here's a screenshot of the router's settings, I access this share from FileExplorer like this:

\\MY-SHARE\SharedFolder

Windows has been disabling older versions of SMB for security reasons. You might need to change the SMB version of the server, or to enable older versions of SMB in Windows 11.

  • In the Windows 11 Programs and Features Control Panel (CPL), select Turn Windows feature on or off, if needed.

  • In the Turn Windows feature on or off CPL, turn on SMB 1.0/CIFS.

  • Enable SMB v. 1.0, if needed in CMD prompt with

    sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/mrxsmb20/nsi

    sc.exe config mrxsmb10 start= auto

  • Enable SMB v. 2.0 and 3.0 in CMD prompt with

    sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/mrxsmb20/nsi

    sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= auto
