ReadyNAS DUO v2 - Windows 10 unable to connect (error 53 rejected connection), admin page down
Hello there,
Bought last unit of Duo v2 from the local store and was able to set up.
Though, the admin page is ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED error and unreachable. SMB v1 was already enabled via Windows components.
Any suggestions, please?

Have you tried Internet Explorer? Are you browsing to https://nas-ip-address/admin (using the real IP of course).
The Duos are sometimes inaccessible during resync, so if that is still happening you might wait it bit. You could also check the status with RAIDar. https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads#raidar

Just to clarify - does it say ReadyNAS Duo v2 on the front panel? Or does it say ReadyNAS Duo?
Also, do you know what firmware it is running?

Hello there!
The solution was to switch off and back on for SMB v1 protocol on Windows components from Control panel -> programms -> components
And re-install OS + hardware reset from physical boot menu on device.
Admin page is available with security error (old protocols) via Internet explorer (confirmed security warning).
It's v.2 on the front panel, yes.
Thanks for your answer!
