Upgrading from OS6.1.8
Hi all. I have a ReadyNAS 312 that I bought un-used. It looks like it's on it's original OS, which is V6.1.8. Because of this I cannot access the admin page, as it displays "refused to connect". I've...
I'm not sure why I didn't think of this before. A USB recovery to a higher version should work. Getting access to the GUI and doing a normal upgrade is still the better way, especially since I'm not convinced your problem isn't outside the NAS and an OS update won't fix it.
Hi. Refused to connect is the error displayed in Chrome/Firefox/Edge when trying to connect to the admin webpage.

Do you have disks in the NAS?
Yeah, 2 X 2TB disks that came with it. I've taken them out and connected via a separate caddy to my PC to confirm they're ok and reading correctly etc.
I tried two 500GB disks I have spare. RAIDar recognises them as new, needing formatting etc but once it's done its thing the same OS is back and the issue remains

Just to clarify - the OS is installed on the disks, and you will not be able to connect to the web admin ui unless the system has been booted from the disks. That should happen at the end of the install step.
It could be a little quicker to use just one disk, as that eliminates the need for a RAID sync.
