ReadyCLOUD not uploading pictures from Iphone
I am unable to upload pictures from my Iphone (IOS) using the Netgear ReadyCLOUD app (version 2.0.0, (2027)). I have an ReadyNAS 104, running firmware 6.9.1. I’m not exactly sure when the problem started but I use to be able to just run the app from my phone and it would upload the pictures to my NAS. Now it shows me a status update but it doesn’t progress. I attempted to create another account and see if it was perhaps a user access(rights) problem, and it started updating but then stopped. I am back to square one. Please help.

Hi 424User
This has been reported and is now being investigated. May I know the location you are in?
It would be best if you can contact NETGEAR Support so they can open a case for you and be included on the investigation.

- Netgear has the worst possible customer service .. I reported the same issue back in November 2017 and still no update.. idiots keep saying their engineering team is looking into it but morons have not been able to identify the cause and fix the problem. Can’t belive this is what we get for $250 router.
Hi Saginus
Welcome to the Community!
Are you using ReadyCloud on ReadyNAS or on a Nighthawk router? If you are using a router you will have to post to the correct board so they can properly assist you.
If you reported an issue with a ReadyNAS system do you still have your case number? if not, I would suggest contacting NETGEAR Support so they can assist you on testing a ReadyCloud app build if possible. It is important that user experience on the issue gets included on the investigation so they can properly create a resolution.
Regards
I agree with the comments about the terrible customer service. I was told months ago to wait for an update app for the iPhone due to errors when attempting to back up pictures from my phone to my ReadyNAS device. Since I waited "too long" between responses, they closed my case and now the 90 support warranty is expired and I have no way of contacting anyone unless I pay for additional support. I have a $350 paper weight and you want more money to not fix my problem? Absolutely useless! Maybe someone will read this and be able to help me.....lol

Any update from the Engineering side for the iOS App, experiencing same or similar problem. Version 2.0.2 on iOS 11.4.1 iphone 7.
App will upload 2-3 picture than get stuck. Disable and Enable will repeat the same issue (ie uploads 2-3 pictures). Any possible fix?
UPdates?
Like to provide some data and details.
I have a Samsung S7 that works flawlessly, issue is only with iOS devices.
Using a iPhone 5 and iPhone 7 the app provides two different behaviors.
Please note both iPhone were connected via Wifi ONLY.
iPhone 5 will error out a message "Internal Server Error (500)" when the upload hangs.
iPhone 7 will just hang and show NO errors.
I was able to do a port sniff on the traffic towards the NAS to determine the following.
The Samsung S7 seems to be using TCP to do transfer when on WiFi and uses HTTP when on LTE.
The iOS devices seems to use an alternatives method through the internet via Amazon Data Center (guessing due to NSLOOKUP of IP Addresses)
Non-authoritative answer: 8.145.86.54.in-addr.arpa name = ec2-54-86-145-8.compute-1.amazonaws.com
After mulitple testing, the following list of IP addresses was compiled.
54.177.220.148
54.176.138.14
13.56.2.59
34.232.29.118
54.86.145.8 <-- ALWAYS HANGS on this serverAs shown in the screen capture below, the last server disconnect packet is always stuck on 54.86.145.8.
Both iPhone 5 and iPhone 7 behaves the same.
The first question to the engineer for the iOS app is why isn't the iOS devices using local IP addresses to reach the NAS when on WiFi?
IF there is restrictions becuase of iOS coding, there need to be an investigation towards why that last server is causing issues to prevent uploading.
As it seem there are multiple servers to do load balancing for traffic purposes, there could be an issue to one particular server that need to be addressed (assume by Amazon Data Center folks).
Please follow up on the data above and please fix ASAP.
ThanksDo you still see this on ReadyNAS OS 6.9.4-T56? There are a number of ReadyCLOUD related fixes mentioned in the Release Notes.
