can't access shared folder message

Purchased a Buffalo NAS model# LS210D0661 and set it up with a shared folder.  I can't access the folder unless I change the group policy of the computer that I want to connect to the NAS.  I have to enable "insecure guest logons."  Is there a way to accomplish access to the NAS folder without messing with group policy?  Possibly on the NAS admin web interface side of the things?

Add the folder with username/password protection. Then the user will get a login prompt when connecting. That's safe, and you won't get any warnings.

Natively the LS 210D is configured for SMB 1.0 only, you should be able to modify this yourself though.

Make sure your NAS uses the newest firmware.

I have found that some computers can get to the drive without enabling insecure guest logins.  Any reason why this would be?

FYI.  here are some screenshots of SMB info on the NAS
