Fresh Costumer to ReadyNAS 104, quick review and some questions...
Hello dear friends... For some years now, i have being using home NAS to Cloud Services, since the BITCASA Fiasco, where i lost some very important files that where irreplacable... Being a very cau...

Yes. That can't be blank.
The answer might not be 192.168.1.1 though. You should check to see what DNS servers are being handed out by your router.
With Window you can find that out by launching cmd (in win7 just type cmd in the "search programs and files bar"). Then enter
ipconfig /all | findstr /R "DNS\ Servers"That will tell you the right address(es) to enter there.
You can also safely enter Google's public DNS server addresses (8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4).
Truthfully, the best way is to keep the NAS set to DHCP, and reserve an address for it in your router.
...So for Link Agregation is need a configuration on the NAS and in the router... From your words is not worth it right?
I don't speak for Eskender :smileywink:
But frankly it's not worth it on the RN104. It's not fast enough to fill a single gigabit connection, so there's no benefit. The RN200 and above are fast enough, but even there you only benefit if you have multiple users accessing the NAS at the same time. Just connect one ethernet cable, and be done with it.
Hello Paulo,
For cacti please use username: admin and password: admin. A password change will be required after that.
I am not using google drive myself so I am not sure if there is any external app that can be used. Maybe it would be best to post this question in a new thread to increase chances that other users will reply to this.
The 6.4.0 release will be for your device. Unfortunately, there is no email notification. Looking at the beta release notes there will be a share quota implemented:
“1. Share quota support. You can now set a size limit on a share.
* Note that the size limit will be enforced but not displayed from connected clients.”
I have copied your requests.
Bye,

Hello again Eskender!
I just got access to cacti like you told me too...
I will have to configure the settings to get the data out of the NAS...
I also have Dropbox account, so i can test that integrated app... But im very disapointed with it...
Its very poor and limited... i can´t really choose nothing more that the Shared Folders...
I really hope NETGEAR gets his acts toghether if they want to really fight on the NAS space for home users...
Check this printscreen from my other NAS... I don´t really need to say what NAS it is...
See how advanced is the CloudSync App... And im not even talking about the amazing beautifull interface...
I really just hope that NETGEAR do invest some money with some graphic designers and create something similar...
As a costumer im just giving constructive feedback for the enhancement of the product! For the outside the product is spot on! Solid, Sturdy and made to last...
But from the inside the interface must be really upgraded... Better interface = Easier to USE = More Sales...
6.4.0, is going to bring more features, or just that one?
Thanks for copying my requests, please add these ones too...
- Upgraded Cloud Sync Application (agnostic operation for compatible providers)
- Enhanced Interface (Just look at the direct competition and you get the idea)
I have an question about a doubt here...
When i first installed the NAS i have selected a username for entering the OS (and a password).
I will give the example... When i go 192.168.1.69 i have to use the "birdie" username and my password to enter Ready NAS OS.
I can see in the profile option, that i can change the Password, but what about the Username?
I want to change from "Birdie" to "admin"... How can i do it? Is there an advanced mode to the NAS OS?
Its normal for the from display to stay off? How can i get him to "wake up" and give me information about the NAS?
I don´t see any option on the NAS OS to do it... Should i knock on it and say... "Anybody home?" :)
Thanks again for this "direct" line to the company. For me the future and "costumer centric" companies, that will be the ones that will stay on business...
With my best Regards,
Paulo Eduardo
Hello,
I am a bit confused, because by entering the IP address you would normally access the local admin page which can only be accessed by one user, the admin (username: admin cannot be changed).
But since you are saying that you use a different username to access the ReadyNAS you could be talking about accessing the ReadyCLOUD website readycloud.netgear.com from which you can also access the local admin page. Maybe this is the way that you are proceeding. For ReadyCLOUD you have a different admin whose name can be chosen freely.
To change this name you need to go back to the local admin page and head to the Cloud-Tab. If you then go to the “ReadyCLOUD section > Settings > Leave” your device will be disjoined from ReadyCLOUD. By setting the ReadyCLOUD toggle switch back to on in the same section you will be able to choose a new ReadyCLOUD admin account.
However, and there is something I do not know, you might not be able to choose the name admin as a username for the ReadyCLOUD admin. This could be due to the fact that usernames for ReadyCLOUD users have to differ from usernames of local users on the ReadyNAS.
The display will turn off after a period of time. To light the display please press the power button once. This will have the only effect of turning on the display. Pressing the power multiple times will soft power off the device.
Bye,
Eskender
Hello Eskender,
Thanks for your reply.
I will give my example... to access the ReadyNAS OS i got to my Browser and put: 192.168.1.69/admin this will ask me username and password.
I will put my username "Birdie" and my password, after this i go inside the NAS OS.From what you are telling me, there is another access to the NAS OS? or even another set of options from another type of entry?
If so how can i access it?
As for the Light on of the display, you are correct, if i press the power button the display will light up... but for a few seconds only...
Its not possible to mantain the display allways on? The idea here is when i look to the NAS i get some usefull information, without having to enter the ReadyNAS OS to get it...
With my best regards,
Paulo Eduardo
