NV+ V2 5.3.12 Remote access 1.5.8 time out
Can somebody please help? I have had my ReadyNAS since 2012. I have been able to access shares locally on the network with my Macs. I have never been able to access shares with my iPhone IOS. I...
Thank you Stephen ;-)
I am using ReadyNAS Remote 1.5.8 for IOS 9
Remote is now on the way out, but it is still supposed to work.
-Is it turned on in your NV+
-Can you log in at https://remote.readynas.com/
There is a manual here which might help: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/ReadyNAS/RN%20Remote%20UM_13Jun2013.pdf
Hey Stephen..
Here is what I have tried:
I am able to get Remote to work on my Mac laptop ON MY LAN - but sometimes it drops off for no reason. (readyNAS icon is solid blue but there is no NAS under "Shares")
I have sporadically managed to see only 4 of 8 shares on my IOS device, even though the settings for each is identical (and FTP is also enabled on each) Anonyomous access has been granted to each.
On the IOS I am able to log in under settings, then under ReadyNAS Remote I see that I am connected and I see my NAS, but when I tap on the NAS I get one of the following:
"connecting to device..." and then a timeout
or "Reading shares list..." and then a timeout
or "Error, Login failure"
or "Software caused abort"
or "Check your settings are identical on Remote and ReadyNAS"
At no time am I UNABLE to see all the shares through the MAC finder - they are always there!!
Perhaps I shoud try using ReadyCLOUD ?

You can't - that is only for OS 6.
OwnCloud is an option - you can purchase it (small amount) here: https://rnxtras.com/readynas-os5-arm
rnxtras is hosted by WhoCares_ btw.
SOLVED!!
After wasting literally MONTHS of my time with NetGarbage Remote software and with their lousy tech support, I solved the entire situation with 3rd party software at a total cost of 99c and about 2 hours to configure everything...
I applied for a DNS from dynu.com, and opened port 9 and directed it to my SAN in my router
I bought the WakeUp app for my iPhone and configured it so that I can fire up my SAN over the internet (- it will shut down when it cycles to the next shut down period in the power panel)
I downloaded the excellent iTransfer app free version onto my iPhone and iPad and am able to browse, download and upload to the SAN.
I downloaded the even more excellent CyberDuck ftp client (although anyone can be used) and can now browse, dl and ul from my laptop over the internet.
phew! Hope this helps someone.
Thanks to Stephen for trying to help me.
