Mac OS Big Sur 11.6

[Nigel Parkes]

Anyone else found their computer or their phone won't recognise their Brennan after performing the latest upgrade?

I'm sure it'll all sort itself out eventually but this is not what I paid for!

Any suggestions/work rounds?  (Just about to go and reboot crap BT router)

Not sure if you're talking about the latest upgrade to the B2 or to your Mac OS.  I think it's more likely that if you just upgraded your Mac OS, that they changed something with networking.  You may have to re-install or re-enable SMB 1.0.  There are threads in the forum that describe how to do that.

Rebooting your "crap BT router" is not a bad idea either.

No problem here with the MacBook Pro, iPhone or iPad Pro all scan the network and find the B2 and BB1, possibly an attitudinal thing?

[Nigel Parkes]

Meaning please?

[Daniel Taylor]

The nearest I understand it is that SMB 1.0 is a network protocol that the B2 uses to communicate over WiFi.  It requires a driver type thing to be on the computer or phone with which it communicates.  There are posts in the forum that describe it better than I can.  My suggestion is that you search for SMB and Mac.  That's the best I've got.  Good luck.

I just found this private message from Nigel:

"Rebooting "crap BT router" is my first point of call these days ;)

No, it only happened after I downloaded the latest Mac upgrade, what's SMB 1.0?"

I guess I already answered the question, at least as best I can.

Thanks

Daniel Taylor - seems to be some kind of timing problem here, but thanks for helpful comment :)

As I suspected; sorted itself out  overnight with no additional input (rolls eyes)
