Only one thing is missing, the RAIDar.
With the dashboard I can manage the NAS, but to manage the files is slowly and not comfortable.
So for the aranging the files I need the RAIDar.
RAIDar gives you some management info, but it does not help you manage your files. You can install RAIDar from here: https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads#raidar
The new version is easier to install, so I'd go with that. The only thing missing is the ability to switch from XRAID to FlexRAID.
To manage the files it is best to access the NAS with File Explorer. A couple of tips:
- Make sure the CIFS/SMB 1 client is enabled (use "turn windows features on or off")
- Access the NAS by entering \\nas-ip-address in the file address bar (using the correct slash, and of course substituting the actuall IP address).
On this second tip: often the NAS won't appear in the File Explorer network list. Using the method above works around that problem.
Hello Steven , yes with the Raidar 6.5 i can see the device, but surely it does not work proper because the DUO is to old.
If you have an original Duo, which we refer to here as a "V1", then that firmware is not for your NAS. You have selected that you have a "Duo V2", but there can be some confusion on that because of inconsistent marking by Netgear. If your NAS says "Duo V2" on the front, then it is a V2. If it just says "Duo", it's a V1. Ignore anything on any stickers, as those revisions refer to insignificant board differences where the "real V2" is a total re-design.
If you do have a V2 and still need assistance finding where in the admin UI to update the firmware, let us know.
