Readynas Duo V2 - Light blinking - no connection

Hello

I've bought at Readynas Duo last week, and just returned it to the retailer and a got a new one, but both have a identical problem that I can't figure out:

The unit looses connection in under 24 hours from startup. The unit starts blinking continously in a fast pace, and I can't connect from Readynas (the PC) or get it to restart, without pulling the powerplug.

The First unit I had did this in under 24 hours and did it 3-4 times over 3 days before I returned it. The new one which i got today has done while I copied 35 gb of pictures and it lost connection with about 12 gb to go.

I'm not that technical in my approce to NAS, since its my first.

Hope someone can help.

Marcus

    What version of RAIDiator is on the ReadyNAS?

    To safely shutdown the v2 you would briefly press the power button twice.

    How is your PC connected to your network? Via wireless or ethernet?
  • The raidar version ends on 229 i Think. Bur it the erfor occitansk even When my computers are closed. One is connected with wifi by router and One with ethernet.
    I bought the NA's with 1 tb harddisk. And ist the onlyone in.

    Radiator is the NAS firmware - it should be 5.x.x or 4.x.x. You can see it from the NAS web page.
  • Ah ok. Ist 5.3.5. - the latest firmware upgrade
