I don't have access to my own F/W so I can't research this, but it seems to me that many of the old boxes of this generation (Pre 2010), required the use of a 'custom firmware' for SMB2/3 compatibility (
if it's available at all for this model??), and that it wasn't necessarily part of the regular F/W updates.
If you're as DESPERATE as you say, then FTP scanning is always an option.
Whatever the case, my money's still on outdated F/W for this issue.
You can always post your F/W versions here, so those
in the know can confirm the levels
