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...

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).

AFAIK they have no plans to do that. The final firmware for your Duo was released 5 years ago.
The other option you have is to disable the redirection to https.

I have read several threads where users have created their own Firmware v4.1.16 -> v4.1.17 so they can access their data but this is not an official Netgear patch and quite complex to apply.
The only thread I am seeing for that was aimed at solving a different problem (adding SMB 2), which would not solve the browser TLS/SSL problem.

I have now modified etc/frontview/apache/Virtual.conf to remove / hash out the offending lines which prevent modern browsers displaying the admin login page and this now works, so thanks to all for this.
Within ssh root@x.x.x.x I can login and see the contents of my NAS device including the shared folders. "ls" command

I still believe NetGear should offer a new firmware update. These are archive devices we entrusted Netgear to keep our data safe and ACCESSABLE.
