1GB network adapters not working in ReadyNAS 626X (RN626X00)

Since the OS is on the drives, the best way to confirm that it's a hardware problem and not an OS one (for any problem that could be either) is to remove the drives and insert just a scratch drive on which the system can create an entirely new OS partition. If the problem persists, it's either a corrupt flash (not likely in this case) or a hardware problem.
I was thinking the same thing. I already reset it to factory defaults with a new uninitialized disk installed and got the same results.
I'll contact paid support to see what can be done and at what cost. I bought this one used so I don't have warranty. If its not economical to repair, I continue running it as is since I don't use the 1GB LAN ports anyways.
Since Netgear EOL'd the ReadyNAS line, I need to migrate away from them anyways. I've had a good run with them for the past 14 or so years. Still have a couple RNDP6000 reliably running 24x7 in production (with upgraded RAM, CPU and OS6).
I'm considering moving to TrueNAS Mini XL+ running Scale to enable replication (once Scale is production worthy).
Netgear won't repair it, so save your money. They've never offered in or out of warranty repairs on ReadyNAS -- just warranty replacement.
