ReadyNAS Duo
I have a ReadyNAS Duo I think I got in 2009. I upgraded the firmware a few times, but it's just a storage device my wife and daughter use to store photos on. My wife is having a problem copying files to it so my thought is maybe it's full. But I tried to go to the Admin page "192.168.1.50/admin" in Google Chrome and it won't even go, so I tried Safari and it went but the whole page is blank and has "Null" in some places. Any ideas on how I can get into it and maybe even upgrade the firmware and check the shares, etc.

There are several possibilities in addition to a full volume - failed disks, failing power adapter, memory, ... After all, it is a 15 year-old device.
What error are you getting in Chrome?
If you have a Windows PC, then one path is to connect disk 1 of the Duo to the PC - using either SATA or a USB adapter/dock. Windows can't mount the disk, but you should see it in the disk manager.
You could then install R-linux for windows, and look for the shares. If the disk is ok, you will see them and be able to copy off the photos.
(make sure you select "Windows" at the top right of the screen before downloading).
