READY NAS 104
I am able to access my files stored on by ReadyNAS 104 from Windows 11 Explorer, but I am unable to "manage" my device using "RAIDar" or "Ready Cloud" (which I think might be obsolete at this point)....

I've made sure the SMB 1.0 service is indeed set up,
Not needed for ReadyNAS running 6.x firmware, so actually not necessary.

That is a problem (and it is surprising that you can access files from file explorer).
Do an OS-reinstall from the front panel. Instructions are on pages 28-29 here:
That will
- reset the NAS network configuration to use DHCP with no bonding
- reset the admin password to password
- disable volume quota (which can be re-enabled on the volume settings wheel)
Then look in your router for a way to assign an IP address to the NAS. Sometimes the feature is called "IP Address Reservation", though it can also be called "Mac Address Reservation" or "ARP Binding". Most routers have the feature - if you can't find it, post a link to manual.

ReadyCloud was shut down by Netgear last summer. RAIDar works, but all it is doing is launching your browser to https://nas-ip-address/admin, so if you know the IP address there is no need to use RAIDar to get to the web UI.
I've also tried to log directly into the Admin page from a browser using http://192.168.42.15/admin, but I get the error message:
This site can’t be reached
192.168.42.15 took too long to respond.
