Raidar are showing the same status as mentioned: "Management Service is offline".

See if the RAIDar function to download logs is successful.
You could try another factory default from the boot menu.

It should be finished by now, so I suggest powering down the NAS and restarting it.

Did you upgrade this? Stock RAM in 4.2.x systems was 1 GB.

Hi StephenB,
Yes, I did upgrade the RAM from 1 to 2 GB two years ago when I upgraded from 2x 2TB to 2x 4TB.
I have now restarted the NAS as you asked for it. It went to the same status: Power button is blinking blue and activity LED is blinking from time to time.
Raidar are showing the same status as mentioned: "Management Service is offline".
thx

I switched off twice my NAS.
I tried to proceed a manuall "factory default".
After few minutes, I could follow the starting steps of the NAS.
Everything is now on green. I will wait for the sync process to be finalize.
Restart the NAS properly and try an update of the new OS system.
BTW. Even with my other Netgear NAS 424, I am not able to set the gmail smtp server and I also could not find any detailed description how to proceed. Maybe Netgear is aware about this recurring issue?
