Readycloud is not discovering my NAS and RAIDar sends me to a very old version of the admin page

Recently I bought this NAS second handed without the drives. I did a factory reset to start of clean, but now I have issues with setting it up. I watched the tutorial form Netgear, but I got stuck at the part where you discover the NAS using there webtool. The tool couldn't find it Holding the backup mode to enable discovery didn't seem to work. The weird thing is, when I downloaded RAIDar the NAS immediately showed up and send me to the setup wizard on its admin page. But this page (I added a screenshot, it's in Dutch btw) doesn't even remotly resemble the one in the youtube video or my search results when I type in "netgear nas admin page". There doesn't seem to be an option somewhere to upgrade or migrate to newer version.

I tried to search the device via its serial number, but this also didnt work. 

 

Any advice please?

 

Thanks guys

    You have the ReadyNAS Duo V1 which runs on ReadyNAS RAIDiator 4.1, unfortunately ReadyCloud will not be able to get this NAS setup since it is available only for OS 6 devices. Downloading RAIDar like what you did is one of the first steps to setup this NAS. Here is a link to it's hardware manual to get you started on using your ReadyNAS Duo V1 Smiley Happy

     

    you will have to start RAIDar and select your NAS to start the setup Wizard and after completing that you should be able to get your NAS going. The manual will have the steps provided and other info you might need is also available there

     

    The Video you have seen might be for the OS 6 version that is why you are seeing a different UI and setup procedure. This video from another user might help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijiczeaQnrI and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVY1jmgsM2g
