I loaded old Firefox onto an old laptop, and could see admin page fine. Eventually I settled on this rn4bin/netgear_stuff/x86 at main · rdynsxtrs/rn4bin · GitHub and using the admin page AddOns loaded EnableRootSSH_1.0-x86.bin
I got a success email
but since then whenever I try to access the admin page I get ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED
This is on an Ultra 4, correct?
Does the old firefox also give you the connection closed?
Did you reboot after enabling ssh?
Did you install the actual fix ( https://github.com/rdynsxtrs/rn4bin/blob/main/apache2/x86/Apache2_2.2.34-x86-0.2.0.bin )?
Hi Stephen
This is on an Ultra 4, correct?
- yes correct
Does the old firefox also give you the connection closed?
- yes ("The connection was interrupted")
Did you reboot after enabling ssh?
- yes from admin page shutdown and reboot
Did you install the actual fix ( https://github.com/rdynsxtrs/rn4bin/blob/main/apache2/x86/Apache2_2.2.34-x86-0.2.0.bin )?
- afraid no... I couldn't understand the instructions 😜 I thought this was the fix 🙄
What you installed was actually a Netgear add-on - it should have been the same as the one at the bottom of the page here: https://kb.netgear.com/24551/ReadyNAS-Add-ons-for-RAIDiator-4-2-x86
It should not have interfered with https://nas-ip-address/admin, so I don't know what happened there. One thing you could try is attempting to use ssh to connect to the NAS - is that something you've used before?
If not, I'd do the OS reinstall - which will reset your admin password to netgear1.
Do you have a backup of your data?
Thanks for the info. If you don't know I'm not sure anyone will!
One thing you could try is attempting to use ssh to connect to the NAS - is that something you've used before?
- no, is it simple (?!)
Do you have a backup of your data?
- yes I am pretty paranoid - I have 2 cloud accounts, and 2 USB drives, all of which have most of what is on the NAS - tho there may be some odd corner there I have forgotten about
I'd do the OS reinstall
- if it comes to that how would I do this without admin?
