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.

Is ReadyCloud running on the NAS (and working properly)?
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.
