ReadyCLOUD won't discover my NAS RN102.

Is the RN102 readycloud compatable or do I need to download different installation software? I'm trying to connect the NAS to an existing Home network with a Netgear DGND3700v2 router. The NAS is new and currently only has bay 1 filled. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

    It is.  But I recommend getting the NAS running w/o ReadyCloud first.  You don't need ReadyCloud to access the NAS on your home network.

     

    If you open windows file explorer and enter \\nas-ip-address do you see the list of shares?

     

    Use the real NAS IP address of course (RAIDar can give it to you, and you should also be able to see it on your router's attached devices screen).  Be careful on the \\ direction (if you use // then file explorer will open your browser, which you don't want).
