ReadyNAS Windows app does not work
The RAIDar app (6.2) correctly identifies my NAS, but the ReadyCloud app tells me that I have no registered devices. Also the discover page on http://readycloud.netgear.com/ tells me that I have no ...

Thanks for your input.
When you say "on your unit" you mean the ReadyNas itself? The ReadyNAS Duo v2 does not appear to have a way to set the DNS manually - advice on the website references menus that look different (even though I have firmware updated yesterday), presumably later hardware designs. All the devices in the house here (including the ReadyNAS and the Windows 10 PC) are set for DHCP and get DNS information from the DSL router, so presumably if the DNS was borked, nothing anywhere would work. I set a static value of 8.8.8.8 in the DSL router to see if this made any difference, but it does not.
I installed the latest ReadyCloud app yesterday (v1.13). Post changing the DNS, I tried 'check updates' in the app, whereupon it eventually failed with the "Too many automatic redirections were attempted" messages as before, but subsequently starting the app it says 'initialising' for a while, then disappears without ever showing the GUI.

The Duo V2 does not support ReadyCloud, it uses ReadyNAS Remote. Unfortunately, the UI doesn''t use the "ReadyNAS Remote" name, which creates confusion.
