RN104 firmware issues
Different entries in the Netgear support-Portal specify different dependencies on RN104-Firmware. Currently I have 6.2.4 installed. Next problem : to find the different firmware-versions on the road ...
This guidance from 6.7.5 release notes) looks safe:
- ReadyNAS 102, 104, and 2120 must not be updated directly to 6.7.x from 6.3.x or older firmware. They must first be updated to either 6.2.5 or 6.3.5 then to 6.5.2...
6.2.5: https://kb.netgear.com/29498/ReadyNAS-OS-Version-6-2-5-RN102-RN104-Only
6.5.2: https://kb.netgear.com/31116/ReadyNAS-OS-Version-6-5-2
Try the firmware update facility, and see if it offers 6.2.5 or 6.3.5 first (then give us the results).

Thanks for the fast reply! What do mean with "firmware update facility"?

Check for Update is what I meant. Is your NAS configured so it can reach the internet?
One common error: many people configure the NAS to use a static IP address, but forget to set the DNS server(s).
