    RT-AC68P SMB Windows login (solved, bug)

    Yes, I didn't realize this function was altered by Merlin, perhaps I should have posted in that forum. To boil it down I had two problems, and the interaction made it difficult to troubleshoot: -Root folder mapped drive: works with Guest login ON and Simpler Naming OFF, but does not (cannot)...
