That's because the browsers recently dropped support for TLS 1.0/TLS 1.1.  Unfortunately, the NV+ doesn't support TLS 1.2.

However, there are two ways you can still access /admin.  One is to use internet explorer on a Windows PC.  The other is to download an older version of firefox (94.0.2 will work).  https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-older-version-firefox  After you install firefox, immediately change the settings to disable automatic updates.

Either way, you will still see a warning due to the self-signed certificate used in the NAS.  But you will be able to connect anyway (select "advanced" if you don't see that option).

There is a workaround for the NV+ browser issue here:  https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/Workaround-for-ERR-SSL-VERSION-OR-CIPHER-MISMATCH-problem-for/m-p/2198243 Note it requires ssh access to the NAS.

If you are using your browser:  This only will work if you enabled http as a file sharing protocol for the shares.  This is not enabled by default.

If you are using (or want to use) Windows File Explorer:  First go into "turn windows features on or off" and then enable the SMB 1 client.  Ignore the security warning.  Then open File Explorer, and enter \\nas-ip-address in the address bar (using the real IP address of course).  Be careful to use the correct slash - // will open your browser, which you don't want.
