    Tried yesturday morning connecting and listing shares from the iOS ReadyCloud app to my ReadyNAS over LTE and it worked. The status indicated "Connecting", "Refreshing", then "Connected (VPN)".
     
    This baffles me as the iOS app did not get updated,
    The ReadyNAS did not get updated,
    I did not change any settings on my ReadyNAS, iOS App, or network since it wasn't working.
     
    So I can connect from LTE and local network WIFI.
     
    I then tested on a different WIFI network connecting to my network at home (where the NAS has always been connected) and from the Android app to see if its works. I found I can connect and list shares with the Android app on a different and the same WIFI network as the ReadyNAS. iOS also was able to connect and list shares on a different and the same WIFI network as the ReadyNAS.
     
    Not sure what changed. Maybe Netgear's systems had to refresh registered devices.
     
    Glad it is working.
