Cannot Map a Network Drive

Good morning UGO

I am very sorry but your latest suggestion did not work and I have gone through both suggestions to make sure I did it correctly.

Today I decided to attach my old LG NAS drive to check if it was the WD giving problem and both drives don't show under File Explorer - Network. I can still map a drive letter by typing in the path \\WD-NAS\Public but with the LG-NAS I get an error:

The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred:

Your system requires SMB2 or higher. For more info on resolving this issue, see: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=852747.

This drive was working last year as I use it to take a 6 monthly full backup of our music and store off site. Both drives can be accessed through their login page at the respective IP address but only the LG-NAS (the backup device) is showing up on the client
list on the TP-Link VR600 V2 modem router. Additionally our Sonos system can play music from the WD and the TV shows the LG Media Server so both drives are attached to the network, neither is accessible through File Explorer and the WD can play media

I appreciate your time trying to help me as I am now totally reliant on your help.

Thanks

Malcolm
