Am I missing something or does the hubs security protocols make it safe to do so? If so is it safe to use for file sharing between devices connected to the hub?</FONT></LI></UL> Tue, 13 Feb 2024 14:58:27 GMT https://community.bt.com/t5/Home-setup-Wi-Fi-network/Why-re-enable-SMB1/m-p/2347935#M207984 RobinP 2024-02-13T14:58:27Z https://community.bt.com/t5/Home-setup-Wi-Fi-network/Why-re-enable-SMB1/m-p/2347942#M207985 <P>Not sure what security risk there is with connecting 2 devices within your home via SMB1 through usb ports.</P> Tue, 13 Feb 2024 15:07:11 GMT https://community.bt.com/t5/Home-setup-Wi-Fi-network/Why-re-enable-SMB1/m-p/2347942#M207985 licquorice 2024-02-13T15:07:11Z https://community.bt.com/t5/Home-setup-Wi-Fi-network/Why-re-enable-SMB1/m-p/2347951#M207991 I was curious after searching 'SMB1' and reading a quite in-depth article posted on Microsoft Community hub entitled ' Stop using SMB1'. I just wondered if anyone definitely knew whether or not using it via the hub through the usb port was actually secure. Hope so, would be very useful. <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span> Tue, 13 Feb 2024 15:31:00 GMT https://community.bt.com/t5/Home-setup-Wi-Fi-network/Why-re-enable-SMB1/m-p/2347951#M207991 RobinP 2024-02-13T15:31:00Z
