Use RAIDar on a PC to discover your NAS: https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads#raidar
You're the only one who can know your username and password, but by default the ReadyNAS administrator account is: admin / password

You can also use the app called (NETGEAR) Insight on your phone to discover your NAS.

You'll also need to forward the appropriate ports in your router to the NAS, and also get a ddns name that points to your router (noip still offers a free service).
I don't use owncloud myself, so hopefully someone does can point you to a suitable guide.
- LuchaAspirantThank you but that sounds hard to do
All the apps are so slow to access my photos
The ready cloud app is so slow
Im looking for an easy app to look at my photos and music- jak0lantashMentor
Sorry, I'll let StephenB help you on this one, it's not helping that our messages collide ;)

Is the goal simply to view photos/listen to music that is stored on the NAS?
If so, plex is one option - it requires port forwarding, but not DDNS.

But if ReadyCloud and ReadyNAS Photos are slow, it's likely because the upload speed provided by your ISP is slow and nothing except a more expensive service tier from them is going to solve it.

FWIW, just pointing out that the OP hasn't answered StephenB's question: "Are you expecting it to work over your home WiFi, or are you expecting it to work when you are away from home?" If it's the first, then all this scary talk about routers and ports might not be necessary.
Edit: correction
