Cannot connect to my NAS after installing KUbuntu 24.04 LTS

I was first on KUbuntu 22.04 LTS and was able to connect to my router’s attached USB storage drive by adding client min protocol = NT1 to the smb.conf file within user/share/samba. My router doesn’t support the newer SMB protocol.

I just recently wiped my computer and installed KUbuntu 24.04 LTS and I tried adding that same line of code to the smb.conf file, but when I try to go to the IP address of my router it tells me that “Connection to host 192.168.1.1 is broken”.

I’ve been trying to find a solution online, but not having luck.

Anyone have any suggestions?

    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!

      SMB1 is really insecure so there might be a silver lining to all this.
