Frontend blank on computers, visible on iPad
I have an old ReadyNas Ultra 4 that has been on and working without problems for about 8 years now. But suddenly I can't access the frontend from any of my three (Mac) computers. I can acces the file system and tried to erase parts of the contents, in case it was a "nearly-full-problem", but that didn't help at all. The frontend is loaded partially, just the frame is visible. Clearing browser cache does not help. Then just for fun I tried to acess it from Safari on my iPad, and that worked! So now I can administer the NAS from there, but why this behaviour?
I kind of suspected that...Still don't quite understand why iPad works though. But it's have to do I guess. Thanks for the answer!

The RAIDiator OS for your NAS is ancient, and the HTML and security versions are no longer supported by some browsers. You can unofficially (no Netgear support) update your NAS to OS6, which is more up to date. But that means completely reformatting and restoring the data from backup. It's also recommended that you expand RAM to 2GB for OS6, though that's inexpensive and fairly easy to do.
