Discovery required every time then only access to Admin after upgrade from Readycloud

Ok So I Think I have solved the issues of a) Having to discover every time and b) loss of Access to Admin page (presenting as offline)

After Upgrade to MyNETGEAR.com account and software 6.5.0 this list is a summary of what eventually worked for me

1) Bind to one email address rather than leave that to later

[If you want to link your ReadyCLOUD account to this MyNETGEAR.com account, click the Bind button, enter your MyNETGEAR.com password in the pop-up window, and click the Continue button.]

2) uncheck (or make sure unchecked) USE PROXY Server in Admin Page, Cloud, ReadyCloud, Settings, -Uncheck use Proxy Server (and ignore your previous Username and Password)

Once this is done ensure your computer does not remember, what is now, your old sign in for ReadyCLoud

3) Power Down and Restart NAS

4) After restart and you cant get into Admin Page leave your accessing the NAS admin page for 12hrs+ in case its busy backing up or syncing or something

(Previously I had been logging into Admin page using both email and password and then when prompted (presumably by the Proxy Server) my old username and password pre upgrade before I unchecked the Proxy server)

Some points may be blindingly obvious to many, but some of us struggle with the  obvious and are not helped by Windows10 managing to upgrade in an ungraded moment in the middle of all this. It has taken may many and I hope this post will help or set in the right direction at least one person.

Thanks to thoes who have posted on this thread each gave me more insight

Regards and Good Luck
