How to open RAIDiator ".13" file type?
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 extra...

Go into "turn windows features on and off" and enable SMB/CIFS 1.0.
I have done this and edited the registry but the netgear is very hit & miss on whether it's found. An Etrayz Nas is always found. This particular problem is a windows issue as when there's a major update it has to be done again.
Thanks for the link to update the web server in the NAS to use TLS 1.2
It would be handy if Netgear built this into a new firmware update so that when errors occur we can easily web in to clean things up.
As we know google is great but it can bring up a lot of rubbish.
Thanks for all the replies. I'm currently 12 hours in and still waiting for the unit to resync.
I think that I'll have to look for a newer model.
thanks again for the help

No need to edit the registry.
It is true that the ReadyNAS might not show up in the Windows Network list. Personally I reserve IP addresses for my ReadyNAS, and access with those. You can create desktop shortcuts that open directly to a share in explorer.

Indeed. But your NAS is old (introduced in 2011, and discontinued in 2013). Netgear announced that they were discontinuing firmware updates back in 2017.

I was waiting for someone to mention that it's an old unit but the purpose of a Nas hasn't changed much. Most people use them to store files in a central location so that other devices can access them, so if the unit isn't physically dead we should be able to use it regardless of new operating systems.

I don't agree because I've found that the fastest way
requires it. A load of youtube videos show the same.

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.

FWIW, I have three ReadyNAS in service that are older than yours. 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.
