ReadyNAS Duo v2 refuses to install any Add-on
Hi community, I'm using a ReadyNAS Duo v2, with the current firmware 5.3.13 and I've performed a full disk wipe, hard reset on the system. So I've got 1 x WD 2TB drive in it and its health, so every...
- The solution was to install the addon using Firefox, for some reason all other browsers give an error using the ReadyNAS web gui. All good and hope this helps someone else.
Hi, thanks for the quick reply.
I don’t have a static IP, I do however have my DHCP server setup to map this NAS to a specific IP address so I can find it easily.
The network settings are showing a default gateway correctly. Also Domain Name Server is populated in the DNS settings screen.
Are you thinking that an allocated IP address from the DHCP server messes this up? My ReadyNAS duo v1 worked fine in this same setup.
Thanks for your help!

No. Just that many people who manually configure a static IP address in the NAS have forgotten to add the DNS server (and occasionally gotten the gateway and subnet mask wrong). That will prevent internet access - which can get in the way when apps try to install the packages they need.
That apparently isn't happening in your case. I don't own a v2 NAS, so I have no way to help troubleshoot.
