ReadyNAS 422 :: Unable to change device name when adding device to Insight iOS app

I am trying to add my RN422 to the Insight App, but I keep getting an error once I get to the "name your device" screen.  Despite the error, the app let's me "continue", but the status of the device isn't registering - there is clearly a connection error.  Any thoughts?  I have provided a screenshot series so you can see the work flow.

 

specific error: "rename failed with error some error occurred while changing the device name"

    Whatever the issue is, it doesn't seem to be on your end - it sounds like something in the Netgear back end.  Hopefully one of the mods  ( JohnCM_S or Marc_V ) will be able to help you troubleshoot from here.

      The ReadyCLOUD service on my device is setup (or appears to be).  However, when I log on to http://readycloud.netgear.com it does not have my device listed.  On the "Discover" tab, it says No Devices Discovered.  However, when I use RAIDar (as the discover tab suggests), my NAS is found and working properly.

        Does your ReadyNAS have a wide open access to the Internet? The Insight agent as well as the ReadyCloud implementation does establish connections to NEtgear's cloud infrastructure...
