ReadyNAS 312 Firmware update connection problems

I've had this ReadyNAS 312 for ages.  I can imagine it could be out of support, but I have regularly updated its firmware over the years.  It's currently running 6.10.10 but now when I hit Check For Updates, all I get is a connection error.  Is this a problem with Netgear, the update server, or is my device just so old Netgear will never support it anymore?

    All ReadyNAS are end-of-life.

     

    I have asked whether the update server will come back on line, but so far Netgear hasn't responded.

      Ah, that's unfortunate.  I wish Netgear would at least publicly acknowledge the problem and whether the outage is permanent or not.
