RN426E22 NAS Stuck on "Welcome to Netgear Storage" – No Button Response, No Network Access
Hi Team, My NAS (model: RN426E22) is stuck on the "Welcome to Netgear Storage" screen. There is no response when I press the center button or any of the four surrounding buttons. Additionally, the ...
Replaced RAM & Working Fine
I removed the RAM stick and powered it on — it still stopped at the same “Welcome” screen. Then I replaced the RAM with another one, and this time it showed “Booting...”. After that, I inserted the disks and powered it on again, and now it’s working fine. Thank you very much for your inputs Sandshark & StephenB
I’m planning to collect all technical details to ensure I can rebuild the shares from a Linux PC if the NAS fails again in the future. Could you please advise what information I need to note and where to find it?Also, since this product is no longer supported, my company management is ready to procure another rack-mountable NAS. Could you experts please suggest a reliable, rock-solid make and model?
I've not confirmed this,. but I suspect that Welcome to Netgear Storage is the default programmed into the display panel on OS6 units just as simply ReadyNAS is programmed into it on older units. That means that a whole lot of things can be wrong and result in that display because it doesn't even have to complete POST. Can you get into the reset button menu (see How-do-I-access-the-boot-menu-on-my-ReadyNAS-526X-and-626X)? Does it display anything different when booted without drives? (Remove and re-install them with power off and mark the slot that came from, so you can re-install them in the same order.)
The usual first suspect is the power supply. The 426 is getting to be old enough that that could be your problem. But it's a bit early to jump to that conclusion.
