I don't see a resolution posted, but you might want to submit a request at support.netgear.com, and let us know what they say.

It seems there is a bug if you try to set a static IP without first assigning the details using DHCP. The solution is to allow the unit to get an IP and gateway using DHCP first. You can then change all the static IP settings back to whatever you need.
StephenB,
I read both of your shares. Yes! That is the issue. I just replied to Vandermerwe about this thread. I will share results post upgade to RAIDiator v5.3.9-T5 on the DUO-v2. At least this function still does work! LOL! If that is not helpful to this current glitch, I will start to look for a new hdw platform for my Brother's NAS. I am looking at the RN102, and, the RN312, ATM.
Thank you for your counsel and patience. I do realize that I have network stubbornness. I don't have a fix for that. Perhaps I will mellow with age; but I am 65 now, and I don't see much change in the future.
