I am trying to install an old ReadyNAS RND2210 v2 on a new computer. I downloaded the RAIDiator-5.3.13 file from this site at https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RND2110v2.aspx#download and extracted the Zip file. I now have the release notes (HTML file) and a file with type ".13" that I don't know how to open. How do I get RAIDiator installed with this? Thanks!

Options for solving the mismatch problem are somewhat different, so it is important to be certain about the platform. The original NV+ (called v1 here) runs 4.1.x firmware says ReadyNAS NV+ on the front panel. often has other labels that suggest it is a v2 or a v3. The NV+ v2 runs 5.x firmware says ReadyNAS NV+ v2 on the front panel.

The .13 isn't an extension, it's just the last part of the version number. OS updates for that model don't have extensions, and you simply load it via the NAS user interface. But be sure your unit really is a "V2". If it's currently running RAIDiator 5.x, then it is. But if it's running 4.1.x, then it's a V1 and cannot run 5.x. Netgear "re-used" the "V2" designation, making things confusing.

Editing the registry isn't required on a healthy system. It's the easiest way to ruin a workable system. Same for crap like registry optimizers and the like. Oh well, everybody on it's own. Have fun, but don't complain if it does not work out. And don't say it was vendor X or Y.

The most capable (a Pro-6) has been converted to run OS-6. Unfortunately, that is not possible with your ReadyNAS. The other two are 4.1.x systems. Since they haven't gotten any security patches in some years, I've turned off most of the protocols, and use them as secondary backups. There is no TLS 1.2 add on for them, so I modifed the scripts to allow frontview to be accessed with http (unencrypted). While as a customer, I'd love it if Netgear provided firmware updates forever, I think that is an unreasonable expectation.

  Hi, came across this question as I'm also trying to setup an old NV+ V2 but after following this when it tries to open a web page I get the error
  192.168.1.11 uses an unsupported protocol.
  ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH
  
  I've looked up this but can't get a fix that works.
  Any help would be appreciated.
