Setup issues with RN10200 Ready NAS
My current version is 1.13 and it says this is the final version. Logging into the https://readycloud.netgear.com website, my drive is discoverable ( I was able to power it up and connect it to t...
I did actually find that and it did help, however, I'm stuck again. It still won't let me activate readycloud, and it won't let me update past firmware 6.19 even when I tried downloading the firmware from the website directly and feeding it to the updater.
Additionally, copying files to the drive is extremely slow. It takes about 30 minutes to even add 1 gb to the drive, making it virtually unusable.
ReadyCLOUD was added in 6.2.0 and now 6.5.0 or later is required to use it.
Have you seen this article?: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29974/~/readynas-os-6%3A-rn100%2Frn2120-cannot-update-due-to-invalid-checksum
Have you tried updating to 6.2.5 (the first step)?
Have you loaded data onto this unit yet?
I'm on version 6.19 and these links are dead for the instructions
- "If you are on ReadyNAS OS 6.1.9 or older, follow the instructions for remotely or locally updating your ReadyNAS to 6.4.0, but instead of rebooting your ReadyNAS, click Close"
I did put some data on there and it transfers at aboug 2 gb an hour. Additionally, if you drag a folder to be copied onto the drive, it doesn't always copy all of the files inside that folder so you have to keep redoing it.
I don't understand why I can't just connect the drive to my computer, add the files and then put the drive inside the NAS. Why does the process have to be so complicated?
The NAS runs its own OS, uses software RAID and uses a different filesystem to your PC. You can't just connect the disk up to your PC, load files on it, then put the disk in the NAS.
I understand that, I was saying how that's an incredibly inefficent system.
Between that, and the readycloud refusing to work, and the firmware refusing to update, and the transfer speeds being ridiculously slow on top of that, I don't see how this NAS is anything more than a brick.
