You don't have a ReadyNAS at all, so your problem is something else - either

  • connecting your 1 TB drive to your router, or
  • accessing your 1 TB remotely with ReadyCloud

Can you tell us which of those problems you have having?

      Hi jrman523,

       

      Is the NAS connected to the router via USB port or LAN port?
