Model: Archer VR900v  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

I have a VR900v2 that is an ADSL modem router , is there an upgrade ADSL Router for this in the VR range or similar ?

I need SMB 2 compatability for Win 10 / 11 though as there is no FIRMWARE update for the VR900 , it only does SMB 1 ,

 

Windows is now deprecating SMB1 and even when you use PROGRAMS and FEATURES to install the

old SMB 1 version it is now not working reliably.

I need SMB 2 so the USB port can be used as an SMB SHARE for the 3 laptops on the Home Network.
 

I am finding it impossible to get any specifications regards this from the website .

 

Anyone got any ideas ?

Is your internet connection DSL? As far as I know, our current DSL modems don't support SMB 2.
If your internet connection is via an Ethernet cable connected to the modem, consider a WiFi router. Most of our WiFi routers support SMB 2.

  @Joseph-TP 

Unfortunately I have DSL , well actually VDSL , yes I saw there are many of your wireless routers that support SMB2 ,
but for some reason none of the Modem versions have SMB 2 support , its not impossible as other consumer Modem / Router 
combos do it , especially ones that can run custom firmware .

Any idea why this is the case and will TP Link add this in coming models , as there seems to be no firmware updates 
for any of the Modem / Routers for this BUT some of the normal Routers have had a firmware update to enable the
SMB 2 protocol.

Hello,

I regret that there is no news about updating the firmware to upgrade to SMB 2 at present.
