Readynas NV V1 Using ReadyCloud

I am looking for some help on how to setup readycloud on a old Readynas NV running firmware 4.1.15.

 

I installed the add on application but I am not able to discover the NAS by pressing the backup button for 5 seconds.

I was able to add an existing email to the authorized account list.

 

I have the same issue with an old Readynas Pro NAS.

 

Is it possible to have more than one NAS listed in the web based readycloud account.

  • Readycloud is only compatable with OS 6, you need to use ReadyNAS Remote

      I installed readynas remote.  It uninstalled my readycloud desktop application.  I guess they are not compatable with each other?

       

      Is it possible to connect to a readynas NV and a Readynas 516  and a Readynas Pro at the same time?  Each one is running a different level of firmware.

       

      When I installed readynas remote it corrupted my admin password on my readynas 516 and I could no longer get to the admin page.  I had to do a firmware update reset in order to log into it again.

       

      Now my windows 10 computer will no longer log into it using file explorer.  I can see the device in the network listing but it says windows cannot access device.  I can get to the admin page without any problems.  Is it possible that installing readynas remote somehow corrupted my windows 10 network settings?

       

      I can still access readynas 516 using readycloud desktop application on a Apple computer without any issues.  Is readynas remote available for Apple?

       

      Just a few more things to work thru.

       

      Thanks for the tip on using ReadyNas Remote, I guess.

        Just an update to my prior post.

         

        My windows 10 machine just started working on it's own.  I changed nothing and it now is able to access the ReadyNAS using file explorer.

         

        I see that windows 10 is not listed as supported for ReadyNAS Remote.  Is that going to be a problem?

        I still have the question on compatibility between ReadyNAS Remote software and Readycloud Desktop software.  Can they both run on the same windows 10 computer.

         

        Thanks.
