Can't Connect to the router (AP).

Hi!

 

I've just bought the RN102 (used one) and i'm struggling to connect it.

 

Power ON - led is on
ACT - led is on
Disk 1 - led is on

 

But on the back LEDs in LAN port are off.

 

I have tried to different cables and i tried to connect it directly to my laptop. The LEDs are not blinking and the ReadyCLOUD or RAIDar doesn't find it.

 

Please help me, what can i do to fix this?

 

Best regards,
Simon.

      Hi eruditusfaber,

       

      Welcome to the community!

       

      Before you follow StephenB's suggestion, try to boot up your unit without drives (mark/label them once you remove them) and check if the LEDs of ReadyNAS LAN will lit up or it shows up on your network (RAIDar).

       

       

      Kind regards,

        Hi BrianL,

         

        When i boot up NAS without drive (i've got one) the power LED blinks (only this one in frone) and LAN LEDs are still off. And also i can't find it with RAIDar.

         

        Any other ideas? 

         

        I have only one compatible HDD and i have some data on it so i have to wait with factory reset untill i get new HDD.

         

        Best regards and thanks for any help,

        Simon.
