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.

Have you tried connecting a computer directly to the NAS? When you do so, there will be no DHCP server, so the NAS will adopt IP address 192.168.168.168. So you'll have to manually set the computer IP to something in the 192.168.168.* sub-net.

Is your home network set up for 192.168.86.* ?

- Thanks. How does one go about doing a USB recovery? Any links to instructions or guides greatfully received đ
It's an easy Google, but here you go: How-do-I-use-the-USB-Recovery-Tool-on-my-ReadyNAS-OS-6-storage-system
It's working!!!!!! Thank you!!
It took a couple of different USB sticks but I created the bootable USB and updated the OS to V6.8.10. The Admin page now launches, I can log in and manage it and all the network shares are now accessible on my home network. đ đ
