ReadyNAS 2100 stuck when booting
My ReadyNAS 2100 is stuck when booting. I can't access the device via the webpage after a factory reset. The RAIDiator tool doesn't show a firmware version, only the message "corrupt root". I can ping it and access it by telnet, but that's all. Is there a way to load the firmware and do some telnet commands to install the firmware?

Did you try a second factory reset?

After long trying, I've been able to do a full factory reset. I had also 1 disk (with errors - so I replaced it).
When the factory reset was done, the system made a new RAID, and I could access it via an old Opera version.
It seems this old NAS doesn't support HTTPS? I didn't find a way to generate an SSL certificate?
One fan is broken, I need to find spare parts for this, but is also hard to find...
If someone has some advice, please shoot!

But more likely your issue is because the NAS only supports TLS 1.0, and current browsers have deprecated that. There is a long thread on the subject here:
There is an add-on you can install (courtesy of WhoCares_ ) here:

Hello SKYLINE643 ,
And welcome to the NETGEAR Community! 🙂
You can also try once with the USB recovery. You can try this once as you have mentioned the disk issue we need to confirm whether the issue is with the software or hardware.
If it is software we will try to resolve it. If it is hardware you can reach out to our support to claim for RMA. Please provide your serial number to check for the Warranty info.
