ReadyNAS NV+ 314 (RND4410) Rename
Hello,
Currently: ReadyNAS NV+ 314 (RND4410), Windows 11 Pro, Dell Precision 3640 Tower, Hardwired Network.
A firmware upgrade initiated an alert email stating; "The host name contains illegal characters. This may cause undefined behavior when using some network services. Please change the host name using only valid characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, -).
The host name was changed to contain a hyphen ( - ), instead of an underscore ( _ ). Now all files and directories are "read only", and of course, I am unable to change the name back to the original. Any attempts to "append" permissions result with an error message that refers to the original host name.
Screenshots of the error message is attached.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,

Go into system->settings->https. Set the SSL Key Host to DEF-DRAWINGS.local and then press Apply.

You have an RN314. You do NOT have an NV+ (RND4410). If people think you do have that older model, they will give you wrong advice.
