ReadyNAS RN10400 came with no software. What now??
I am Alex DeJesus. I own a NightHawk X4 Router since earlier this year and I purchased a ReadyNAS RN10400 from a local Fry's. Both are complete headaches for me so far. The router keeps booting me off...
You don't need to run any software on your PC, there is optional software (i.e. the ReadyCloud client and RAIDar client) and that is available for download. As new versions of software get released over time, software on a CD would quickly become out of date.
We would recommend using the ReadyCloud website (http://readycloud.netgear.com) to setup your NAS. Did you get the ReadyNAS OS 6 Installation Guide?: http://support.netgear.com/product/RN10400
I would suggest you start by following that guide.
The simplest way to get started would be using ReadyCloud
If you don't want to use ReadyCloud e.g. because your internet connection is unreliable you can use RAIDar (http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27391/~/introducing%3A-raidar-6.0) to access the local admin interface
Or if you don't want to use ReadyCloud and don't want to install any software you can briefly press the power button on the 104, look at the display, note the I.P. address (e.g. 192.168.0.147) and go to that in your browser: https://ip.address.of.nas/admin
