Hi :) Ahah, i was wondering what happens if you copy the files that don't work from the NAS back onto the machine you are using? Do they work when they are back on your machine? - using the NAS as back-up and storage but not for working on files actively?
I don't know if there is a Windows command or something that would identify whether you are using cifs or smb or something else. It's vaguely possible that by knowing the model of the router we might be able to find out what it's defaults are but i'm not sure i would want to state that sort of thing this publicly.
