Ive tried reintalling the OS which fixed my problem of not being able to log in to the admin page but Im still getting the offline message when signing into ReadyCloud. How do I go about restting the network connection? Im using the same readyCloud account for both, does it make a difference?

Hi gus1234,
Would you please try to leave cloud and rejoin to cloud to see if you still have this issue?
Note: Before you leave cloud, backup your readycloud user's home folder data if your readycloud user have home folders.
Best Regards.

Hi gus1234,
You can do that by logging in to the NAS admin page then go to the Clouds tab. Note before you leave from Readycloud, please backup your Readycloud user's home folder data if your Readycloud user have home folders.

Do you have 8.8.8.8 in the DNS server list of the NAS?
- gus1234Jan 18, 2018Aspirant
No I dont have 8.8.8.8 in the list. Should I add it (how would I go about doing that?)

Hi gus1234,
Please check if you have some local users that has the same email address with your Readycloud user. The Readycloud user must not share the same email address as a local user.
You may also try using another Readycloud account and check if you will still have the same error.

Several people have this issue across different threads. Try adding DNS, Create new user, different email account seem to be some of the same resolutions being offered however they don't seem to fix the issue. Could it be an issue with the MyNETGEAR account when Netgear forced the upgrade of the ReadyCLOUD account? It seems as if Netgear support needs to get involved.

Netgear engineers fixed the issue. There was a corrupt config file and they removed it. I enabled Diagnostic mode , they were able to connect to my NAS, and remove the file.
