My setup for playing music files has had the rug pulled out from under it.

Equipment:

Synology NAS (DSM7.2.2) for hosting files, sorted by artist/album/song.

Sonos Connect:Amp (2014 model) with wired speakers.

Both connected via ethernet to the network.

My Sonos S1 app still recognises the Connect:amp.

But the music share is no longer accessible, I presume since Synology now prefers SMB2 or higher.

I know I can drop the Synology back down to SMB1 as the minimum protocol but is this as risky as Synology would have me believe?

SMB/CIFS has always been pretty insecure, but it's a question of whether you trust your LAN enough to keep an SMBv1 export open. There have been RCE exploits against SMBv1 in the past, though Synology isn't exactly known for great security either. If you're able to segment off the NAS on the network side I would. As long as nothing critical is stored on SMB shares I personally wouldn't worry too much. Can you require SMBv1 on a specific share?

SMBv1 looks like it is all or nothing setting.
