RN214 - Antivirus Definitions
The last time my ReadyNAS 214 pulled down definitions for the AV was on the 30th September, for the last 3 days it has reported failed to download Internet Connection.
My internet is fine, ReadyNAS is connected to Internet and working fine on both mapping as a NAS drive and connection with IPV4 and IPV6 although IPV4 has always been enough. It is running on 6.10.10.
It reports unable to connect to check for updates, so I suspect this is a default message as there are no more updates after 6.10.10 and probably no longer supported for updates. However the AV has been downloading fine.
Was the 30th Sept 2025 the last Virus Definition download or is it just a problem with where it gets the files from / i.e. servers down etc. I have tried disabling the AV and enabling, rebooting the NAS, and router, but the problem still remains. Is there a way also to force it to check for the Virus Def as I am trying to work out what time it polls or how often
