Access to the admin webpage
HI Everyone
I have a ReadyNas since 2012. I had in the past some difficulty to access to the admin page because of error message (website not sure, invalid certificate, expired certificate and so on) you could also choose go anyway I understand the risk.
but now since win11 and tahoe on Mac I just have a black page, no possibility to reach the admin page.
I can add some files through a map folder but RAIDar can not see on the network and no response via the browser as well.
Does someone have a solution?
I use this NAS as a music flac file server for my stereo. I need each time I add some file to re-scan the register in media folder admin page otherwise all the file are shifted when I choose some music on my stereo app.
I am very close to buying a new NAS from Synology, but I guess I cannot just transfer the hard drives? They will be erased during the setup process.
thank for your help, Fabien

What model ReadyNAS do you own, and what firmware are you running?
The admin access issue is likely because your NAS doesn't support TLS 1.2 (which most browsers now require). The workaround is to use FireFox, and set security.tls.version.min to 1 (browse to about:config and search for the setting). There are some other things you might be able to do, but the details depends on the model and firmware.

No, that won't work. You can re-use the drives if they are healthy, but the data will be lost. Note Synology has been locking their newest platforms to only accept Synology-branded drives. They are in the process of reversing that, so be sure you are runnning DSM 7.3 (just released).
But if these are old drives, then you should consider getting new ones. Likely you'd need fewer large ones - though if you don't have a large volume, you could go with an NVME model (though I don't think Synology has a "pure" one at the moment, they do have some hybrid models with NVME slots).
