Can't see ReadyNAS in computer Network
Hope someone can assist me. I dont seem to be able to see my Readynas in the network on my computer anymore following a power flick some 24 hours ago. I also cant seem to disover my NAS when I log ...
Hi Macspark
Yes you will connect your PC to the Ethernet port and try to access the NAS by detecting it on RAIDar or via Hostname assigned to it or the default hostname which is nas-XX-XX-XX (where XX-XX-XX are the last six (6) Hexadecimal characters of the primary MAC Address.
e.g.
the default hostname of a ReadyNAS that has the MAC Address 2C:B0:5D:BF:20:EA is nas-BF-20-EA. To access the Admin Page: http://nas-bf-20-ea/admin To access the shares through Windows Explorer: \\nas-bf-20-ea
Since you have your NAS accessible again, I encourage you to press the accept as solution button on the post you see as the resolution so other community users can benefit from the solution.
Hope this helps!
Regards

I also can’t open the Admin page when selecting it from the RAIDar
best to start your own topic, instead of adding something to a 5-year old thread.
Are you getting an error like "unsupported protocol" or ERR_SSL_VERSION or CIPHER_MISMATCH? If so, the problem is that your NAS is limited to TLS 1.0 support, while most browsers now require TLS 1.2 There is a way to fix that, but it's be best if you can confirm the error you are seeing first.

I wonder if this may be because the firmware is 5. Something (I didn’t get a chance to write it down before losing connection again) so I think it needs a firmware upgrade
NV+ v2 and Duo v2 NAS can only run 5.x.x firmware. The final version was 5.3.13 (released back in 2017).
FYI - Netgear launched the v2 NAS in late 2011, and discontinued them in 2013.
Hi and thanks for the quick reply and point taken regarding a separate thread
When I launch the admin request from the RAIDar it opens a web page with the ReadyNAS box and a spinning timer and that’s it, no further
If I open a normal web page and enter the IP address then I get general security warning about the certificate not valid
Regarding the firmware now I know I can check what my machine
Thanks again for your help

- Hi and thanks for the feedback
I have been clicking through and when I get the Readynas screen come up it just says ReadyNas and stops, no admin tabs.

Also, are you including /admin after the IP address?
What disks (manufacturer and model) are in the NAS?
