Is there an upgrade/replacement path for Ready NAS 102?
I'm not sure I've done these tags right ... I bought my unit in 2014 and I believe the warrenty expired last August. In November, I needed to get a new drive. The process was slow but effective!

A "risk buy" of a compatible power brick is worth a shot. If you google AD8180LF 332-10318-01 you will find several inexpensive options.
If that fails, then the RN212 is the currently shipping entry-level home NAS - faster and with more memory. You can directly migrate your disks to the new unit.

Thank you !!!
Sadly, I am back. The replacement power supply did not resolve my issues. Is it possible that I have a bad/failed upgrade? The lights on the unit look normal. I can hear the drives spinning. When the unit boots, the router gives it an IP address and knows it's a netgear device. But when I try to connect via http, that seems to throw the device off the network. Do you think I should look for instructions on updating the firmware via a memory stick? Also, it it possible to connect to the device without using a router?
