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?

Great!

Well, you need a Linux system with both mdadm and btrfs installed. Then you assemble the raid groups with mdadm, and mount with btrfs.
The details depend on what RAID configuration you have. If you send me a link to the full log zip file via private message (PM), I can give you the needed commands.
Not you do need to put the zip into cloud storage, as the forum software won't let you attach it. You can send a PM using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page. Make sure the permissions are set so anyone with the link can download.
