Also I used to log in through the windows app readycloud (from everywhere whith laptop, ipad etc), which doesn't recognise me as a valid user (while I am connected at the same time to my netgear site!!!) anymore! In the support I read that I have to Upgrade my readycloud account to a MyNETGEAR before I sign in to mynetgear, but the link doesn't exist either!!!
None of these old topics bring you ahead. Netgear decided to drop the support as still on the announcement above here:
NETGEAR will be terminating ReadyCLOUD service by July 1st, 2023. For more details click here.Alternate solutions - requiring much more effort I admit - would be to deploy some VPN solution. for example - generally either OpenVPN (usually in your router). or ZeroTier (usually on the NAS), and also including the VPN client for OpenVPN or ZeroTier on your mobile devices (including laptops)
Thanks for the advice! I don't know how difficult is to access my data on internet through vpn! Is there any tudorial somwwhere? Thanks!

It's really simple, once set up.
You connect to your home network by enabling the VPN. Then you access your data the same way you would at home.
Thanks for your answer! How to enable vpn? Do I have to install one first? Where and which one? Afterwords, do I have to install it to all my devices (like Ipad etc)?
Thanks once more!

IMO the simplest path is to get a router that has a VPN installed. My Orbi router (like Netgear Nighthawks) has openVPN installed, so I use that. One of several similar guides is here:
You will need to install the vpn client app on the devices you want to use for remote access when away from home. For instance, iPads, laptops, phones.
ZeroTier is another path - it can be installed on the NAS, w/o making any changes to your router setup. You would again need to install the ZeroTier client on devices you want to use remotely. Installing ZeroTier on the NAS requires use of ssh (the linux command line) - there is more information on from other users here on how to do that.
