I've done some reading here in regard to similar issues but it all seems very complicated, and further the RAIDar software often mentioned will not install on my Windows laptop as it can't find Java even though I have Java 17 installed.

My ReadyNAS 202 has suddenly stopped showing up on the network at the assigned IP address. Almost everything on the device, including the main ethernet port activity lights appears to show things working as expected. The one exception is that the secondary ethernet port shows two solid green lights even though nothing is plugged in (given I never see the back of the device I have no idea if this is something new or just normal).

Have you tried moving the ethernet cable to the secondary port?

Also, have you tried rebooting the NAS?  The clean shutdown procedure from the front panel is on pages 35-37 here:

Unfortunately I'm not even sure how  my ReadyNAS is configured in detail - it has 2 disks and I expect I accepted the default RAID configuration.

Then it is RAID-1 (linux software raid, using mdadm), and using the BTRFS file system.
