Can't access ReadyNAS Pro 6
Hello friends, As the title says, I have an old RNDP6000 and I can't access it. It had been turned off for a long time. I'm using Windows 11 Pro. Its readout shows it is on and displays it...

No, you manually upload the binary (which just ends in 31, it has no file extension) by clicking on "System" in the left pane, then update. Select the "local" tab. From there you can upload the binary.
After the install you will need to reboot.

Sorry to say that clicking on Update does nothing. The main part of the screen does not change. If I click on the Local tab nothing changes.
Here is a screenshot after I tried System/Update several times:
Notice the repetition of 'Pro6' in the top right corner.

Wowza, that looks familiar.
StephenB We just discussed this issue on my Duo. Looks like the same thing here.
hellwiththis Were you using Firefox? I had the same issue with FF (trying to look at backup logs) but got my other browsers (Brave, Chrome, Opera) to work ok.

Thanks for your input, saudade
But I can't reach the CP through the other browsers, only Firefox. If you read up at the top of the thread you can see what StephenB recommended.

Basically yes, though hellwiththis has access to frontview with FireFox now that he's changed the setting.
After he updates the firmware, he can install the add-on I linked in, which will add TLS 1.2 support to his NAS. That's not an option for you, since that add-on isn't available for the Duo v1.

Yes but how do I update the firmware? Nothing happens when I hit the update button. This is why I was asking: Am I toast?
