ReadyNAS Duo V2 firmware update catch 22!
Hi All I have the above device and am having some fun trying to update the firmware.
I have a Dell XPS13 laptop running Windows 11. I managed to access the old shares by enabling SMB1 in windows 11, but can't access the admin page through a web browser.
According to Windows, the URL/port is 192.168.1.50:8200, but no browser will connect to it due to security issues. I've tried a few browsers and enabled TLS 1.0 in each, but no joy.
I've also downloaded a very old version of Firefox, but that doesn't work either.
So, I can't access the admin page due to old firmware and can't update the firmware due to being in unable to access the admin page.
I did read a method of using a USB stick, but this just allows you to pick the file from the stick (when you use the admin page!).
Is there a way out of this? I've been scratching my head for some time.
What I need is a method of updating the firmware automatically from USB, or maybe by pressing a button on boot?
I've got the firmware all downloaded in the file RAIDiator-arm-5.3.13 so am ready to go if I can find a method.
All answers gratefully received.
Cheers
Steve

8200 would be for DLNA, not the web admin interface. Just use https://192.168.1.50/admin
You will need to use a browser that has TLS 1.0 enabled.
Are you certain this is a v2? The labeling is very confusing.
The original Duo (called a v1 here):
- runs 4.1.x firmware
- says "ReadyNAS Duo" on the front panel
- often has other labels that include v2.
The Duo v2
- runs 5.3.x firmware
- says "ReadyNAS Duo v2" on the front panel.
Hi
Thanks very much for your helpful replies From your description, I have the V1 as it doesn't say V2 on the front panel. only on the label on the bottom.
I've tried a couple of browsers, namely Brave and Firefox and configured both to allow TLS1.0, but no joy. The browser error is:
This site canât provide a secure connection
192.168.1.50 uses an unsupported protocol.
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCHI didn't mention, but I did try /admin as you suggested, but get the same error. In another thread, it suggested a particular older version of Firefox, but that didn't help either.
In answer to your second question, Raidar reports FW 4.1.16. Clicking on the Admin button, simply opens the browser with the above error message.
At the start, I had some fun trying to view the shares in Windows 11, but allowing
SMB1 fixed that. I can now read and write to them.
If you know of a particular browser that does work with TLS 1.0, Please share đ
Cheers

It sounds like you didn't set up FireFox correctly. Set security.tls.version.min to 1 (browse to about:config and search for the setting).
You definitely need the /admin to get into frontview.
Once you have figured out how to get into Frontview, you can install the ssh add-on, and then make a mod that will let you access the NAS from any browser using http://192.168.1.15/admin. Note this is not encrypted https, it is unencrypted. That avoids the problem with no support for TLS 1.2. There are step by step instructions in post 5 of this discussion thread:
