Readynas Ultra 4 - TLS issue
Hi all, I'm currently using an old web browser to bypass the TLS issue, and be able to access the Admin page. I was looking at another thread, where they were talking about a Fix by using thi...

As Sandshark says, the add-on only solves the SSL protocol version/Cipher mismatch issue in the browser. Even with that add-on you need to click through security warnings with https, because the NAS uses a self-signed certificate. The change to virtual.conf lets you use http instead (which will eliminate the need to click through those warnings).
Enabling SMB 1/CIFS in "Turn Windows Features On or Off" will let you access the NAS shares with file explorer. If you use MacOS, you'll need to shift to either AFP or NFS.
A better path is to convert your Ultra to run OS-6 firmware. We can give more info on that if you are interested.

I was able to SSL using Putty (not with the Terminal), and I updated the Virtual.conf
Also with that lack of support, it's probably the last product from netgear I'm gonna get.

When installing the addon, I received an "unexpected error", and the installation failed.
I updated the Virtual.conf file to comment the "RewriteRule". After rebooting the NAS, I got a "Apache update successful" (so it seems I was able to install the addon despite the error).
I'm now able to login on the admin page with my current Web browser. I had a look at the Microsoft documentation, and enabled SMBv1.
So all good now, thanks!

Yes, that error occurs sometimes, even though the installation was actually successful. Glad all is now working for you.
