NAS RN212 Cannot access Admin Page
The RN212 is up and running. I can access the drives from Windows File Explorer.
When trying to access through web browser to get to the admin page I get the Netgear splash screen then goes blank.
I have rebooted the NAS twice and closed and opened the browser. Same results. The log in credentials are working but the screen will not populate. Also I do get the progress bar as if it is opening but goes back to password screen.

Have you tried downloading the log zip file with RAIDar?
Do you have access to the files?
If you do, it would be prudent to back up the NAS

I accessed through RAIDar. It found my NAS. I started the log file download and it stopped at 14%. I tried re-initializing the download and now RAIDar cannot access my NAS. Also, Windows File Explorer can see all of the folders and files but I cannot open some of the files. I can open text and Excel files. Most of the others cannot be opened. Legacy is extreme long.

Do you have a backup of the files?
