    No, Zyxel no longer provides official firmware updates for the NSA325v2 that include Samba 2. The original firmware only supports the outdated and insecure SMBv1. However, you can achieve Samba 2 (or newer) functionality by installing community-supported modifications like Entware/Metarepository packages, which replace the default Samba server, or by completely flashing a custom Linux distribution like Debian or OpenWrt. Both methods require some technical knowledge and caution, but allow you to modernize your NAS's capabilities.
