ReadyNAS Duo - Final Firmware update ? -> ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH

Hey NetGear.   It's not cool you have end of life-ed these devices so they are no longer accessible. These are archive devices which we entrusted Netgear with large amounts of our data. They were b...

    However Windows File Explorer still won't connect to my shares and therefore I can't easily access my files as I once could. What have I missed please ?

     

    First check that the SMB 1/CIFS client is enabled on the PC.  Do this by going into "turn windows features on or off".

     

    If that's not enough, then try this test:

     

    Open CMD from the Windows search bar, and then enter:

     

    net use * /delete /y
net use t: \\NAS-IP-ADDRESS\SHARENAME /user:admin NAS-ADMIN-PASSWORD

    substituting real values for the stuff in caps.  Be careful on the typing - particularly on spaces and the two different slashes used in these commands.

     

    If this works, it will map the share to drive letter T.  Let us know what happens (and what error you get if it fails).

Mark,

 

Its the other way round. All these RN were EoL long before some famous souls in the browser field decided you should no longer be allowed to access your archive data. These people seem to live in a perfect and up2date world with a lot of money, time, and resources and they have no reason to deal with legacy systems like ours.

 

A similarity from the automotive market for you? Older Tesla S were equipped with 2G/3G data radios only. Most mobile providers are dropping 3G support many markets, leaving (or having already left) these cars in the Internet-less times. Now, one could update modules - but this does not go on Tesla.

 

For Windows users, the Windows (Chromium) Edge IE Mode does come extremely handy. And it will remain supported until 2029. It does continue to allow access to your legacy ReadyNAS, or whatever other legacy embedded device not offering state of the art SSL.

 

In one point I can agree: My favorite NAS maker has released patches for all their legacy models. It can be done....
