Can't connect to my ReadyNAS Duo v2
Sorry to bother you guys and girls, I try to connect my ReadyNAS Duo v2 with my home newwork and computer but nothing happens. I have WIn 11 and Intel Core i7-processor. 1) I bought my NAS in 2011...

USB won't work. Directly connecting the ethernet to the PC can be made to work, but does require some technical skill.
Connect the Duo to a router LAN port. Are you seeing the NAS show up in your router's device list?
When was the last time you successfully connected to your NAS?

Are you certain this is a Duo v2? Does it say
- ReadyNAS Duo v2 on the front panel?
- or does it say ReadyNAS Duo on the front panel?

wonder if Raidar 6.0 will work
RAIDar 6.5 will work. You will need Java, which you can get from here:
(BTW, you would need to install an older version of Java to use RAIDar 4.3.8)

1) "Connect the Duo to a router LAN port.
No, I connected it to a LAN port of the router and started RAIDar 6.5.0 but the message said "RAIDar didn't find any NETGEAR-storage in the network. ".
2) "Are you seeing the NAS show up in your router's device list?"
Yes, it says ReadyNAS DUO" and the internal IP address
3) I have installed JAVA offline.
4) "When was the last time you successfully connected to your NAS?"
Years ago. But it worked and I had access to all my files from anywhere.
5) "does it say ReadyNAS Duo on the front panel?"
No, it says only ReadyNAS DUO.
Thank you for a fast answer! /L
