ReadyNAS 102 firewall disabled after firmware update
Hi all, after an update of ReadyNAS 102 firmware to V6.10.1 (from 6.9.2) I noticed my firewall button was red / disabled in the Ready cloud. I have seen no "firewall turn on" check box prior to updating. Another browser did not help, nor a reboot. Any one an idea how to make the red button green again?

"Firewall" is not the same as "Antivirus". A firewall controls connections to the NAS (blocking access); AntiVirus looks for infected files. Your repeated use of the wrong term is what created confusion here.
Your screenshot definitely shows that AntiVirus is disabled. So the thread can be closed.

Look on the cloud page of the NAS web ui ( https://nas-ip-address/admin ). First make sure the ReadyCloud service is enabled. Then look for two green checkmarks at the top.
Let us know if you see that.

Hi, thanks for the reply. The readycloud is switched on and the internet and services are flagged green.

Hi Jelutho,
Are you referring to the built-in Antivirus service on the ReadyNAS? If you are, that service was removed on the RN100 series since the 6.10.0 update. This is due to the minimum requirement of the current AV is exceeding the physical RAM of those units. You may check this link for more information.
