Got a ReadyNAS 2100 V2 on OS 6. For some reason the last day or two, whenever I try and get into the Admin page on Safari on Mac, it says Your Admin Session Has expired, with some description why underneath, and a log in button. But I can't click on the login button, as the page keeps refreshing in a loop, keeps throwing up expired session etc. Anyone had this and know how to fix? Works fine in Chrome, Firefox. But wondering why it's suddenly doing this on Safari. Ive cleared cache, browser data and still the same.

It sounds like you saved the password in the browser. and it has now changed. I don't know anything about Safari to say if what you've done should have fixed that.

With or without continually loop on the logon. Safari is not happy with either of my new-ish Macs. Chrome on Mac is OK. Edge on W11 PC is OK. I have been on 6.10.10 for quite some time. Thanks, Oh Great One!

Have you tried clearing the browser cache?

According to this thread, the solution is downgrading to 10.6.4:https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/admin-page-keeps-loading-in-a-loop-netgear-nas-104-after-update/td-p/2097560 I just tried downgrading from 10.6.9, and on Mac Safari (latest), the login loop issue still persists. Clearing browser storage (cache, cookies, local storage), has no effect. What has worked for me is using Safari Incognito mode. Have not tested with other browsers.

Having this same problem. Must be recent change to Safari. Occurs on Intel iMac, M4 iMac and iPad. I haven't tried the iPhone because ReadyNAS has never displayed correctly there. I DO NOT have this probem when I use Firefox on these 3 machines.

  Good thinking that.
  
  I just checked, and it hasn’t saved the password for the Netgear Admin Page.

    Solved it!
    
    Worked fine by using just the ip address of the NAS! If I add /admin/ to the end of it then it doesn’t work.

  Is there any chance that Safari has the admin password of the NAS saved?

    I have cleared the Safari site for the IP address, and the Passwords app as well. Does not seem to make a difference. But the Safari Private window worked....... today.
