Front View not rendering for ReadyNAS Ultra 6
I realise I have not kept the firmware on my ReadyNAS Ultra 6 up to date - it is currently on 4.2.17 and I believe the current is 4.2.31. However, I cannot access Front View from RAIDar, instead ...

The FireFox link you sent me allowed me to access Front View but when I try to do a remote update I get an error saying "Error connecting to remote server". I'm guessing I could download a copy of the latest firmware 4.1.31 to a USB and load directly into the NAS?
You must mean 4.2.31.
You can download it from https://kb.netgear.com/000038793/RAIDiator-x86-Version-4-2-31, extract the image from the zip file, and then manually install it from the browser. No need for USB.
Many thanks for your response.
I tried to use https://nas-ip-address/admin but that also gives me a skeleton page of Front View.
I should have mentioned that I am a Mac OS household and don't have access to a Windows PC so I can't download Internet Explorer or Edge - I'm not sure about an older version of FireFox. So I'm still a bit stuck. Any other suggestions?
I can access my NAS media OK, so I know everything is working OK.

Are you getting a login prompt?

StephenB,
You have been fantastic in helping me thus far. Sorry, I am not that tech-literate. When I download 4.2.31 I get a document "RAIDiator-x86-4.2.31" but it is not a zip file. I don't know how I can use a browser to manually install it.
