ReadyNAS OS 6, Remote admin config
I did a firmware update from OS4 to OS6 Successfully. My question is if i can somehow configure a user or such to let my friend login as admin or either a normal user with admin permissions to help ...
Aha.. okey!
Cant use ReadyCloud it seems. The device needs to be registered it says when i try to upgrade my mynetgear account.
Since the device is bought used previous owner has allready registered it and i cant register. So ReadyCloud cant be used.
So i need to look into some other services.
ZeroTier, is it free to use?

There's something wrong here. The mynetgear account doesn't need to be upgraded, and you don't need to register the NAS for support in order to use ReadyCloud.

Yes.
You might also check if your router supports OpenVPN (which is also free to use). Many routers do, including Netgear Nighthawk and Orbi models.
Ok, then please tell me how to login to ReadyCloud with my Mynetgear account. I cant get it to work.
Wrong username or password it says. The documentation says that i need to upgrade my mynetgear account to readycloud account to get it to work and also register my device.
I dont know if my router supports VPN and such, its a Technicolor TG799vac Xtream that was included from the ISP.
I can change it out to my own but hasnt done that yet. This one is not customizeable. Pretty locked.
I can do portforwarding and adding routes, DMZ... etc.Hi Anton_,

If you are able to log in, try changing your password there. After changing the password, please try logging in again to ReadyCLOUD using that new password.
Regards,
Changing password worked. I can now login to readycloud.
Need to start up the readynas and identify it. Seems it will register it automatically.
I guess that there is a difference between product registration and readycloud registration?
