ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus disconnects from network soon after booting.
Some weeks after upgrading to 6.10.7 firmware my ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus now disconnects within minutes after booting up. It makes it very difficult to administer and seemingly the only choice is to do...

The amount of RAM is what was shipped. From the specs it's as you guessed 1GB.
However, the ReadyNAS's partner is a Business Pro Edition with 1GB which doesn't exhibit the same issue and is considerably more busy.
Still, I recommend upgrading the RAM to at least 2 GB as the next step. It's inexpensive and easy to do.

Thanks SandShark,
The Network LED link LED remains on, Network Switch reports that it's still connected at 1000M.
No response to a ping but funnily enough the yellow activity light flickers a lot.
How did you guess that front panel power button will only detect hard cold turn offs?
The normal single click doesn't turn on the front panel display on after the NAS has stopped responding.

Thanks StephenB!
Do you know where I can get some compatible & reliable ones at a reasonable price in Australia these days?
EBay offers lots cheap but I have no idea how good they'll be.
Cheers!

Thanks to StephenB and SurfShark,
I recycled a 2GB DIMM from my dead 12 year old Intel Workstation.
As not to have contending RAM timings I removed the original 1GB DIMM.
I popped it, waited for the pregnant pause and and Voila! It powered up with no more reboots on 10.6.7 (yet).
It's mem_info.log shows that the system uses about 1.4GB of the 2GB installed.
Upon subsequent checking of the Business Pro 6 mem_info.log - I had forgotten I installed 3GB of RAM into it when I upgraded it.
