Laptop has different IP address for Ready Nas Duo, forgotten password
Hi, I have had to move my Nas box to a new location and after powerup is no longer accessible from my laptop. The ip address of the box is 192.168.0.59 but when I double click the shortcut on my ...

SMB is the file sharing protocol that you are using when you access the NAS. Microsoft is deprecating SMB 1 (the current version is SMB 3) - but SMB 1 is the only version your very old NAS supports.
So you need to go into "Turn windows features on or off" in the PC and enable the SMB 1 client there. Note SMB 1 isn't secure, but IMO this is still safe on your home network (and you don't have a choice if you want to access the NAS).

Once again - does the front panel of your NAS say "Duo" or does it say "Duo v2"?
Hi,
I have tried creating a shortcut but just get the 'cannot find device' message
When I enter the address in the windows search I just get 'share requires SMB1 protocol' (no idea what this is)
I can't log into the box through Raidar because the password 'netgear1' is not accepted ( the problem here is I may have changed it)
I can't undrestand why it's suddenly not working as all that has happend is the unit has been unpluged, relocated and powered up again. Raidar picked it up and showed the box going through its sync routine and now shows the two green ticks for the drives and says the system is healthy. I'm getting worried now as all my photography work is on these drives which is why I bought the box in the first place.
I'm wondering if these units are better suited for commercial rather that domestic use?

StephenBI changed the feature setting and I have been able to create a shorcut. Result! Not sure how it worked previously though but the important thing is I now have access.
Thank you very much for your help, much appreciated.
(By the way, the front panel just says 'Duo')

I'm glad I could help. One thing you really need to do is make a backup of your files. Equipment can fail (or be stolen, etc) - so the only way to keep you data safe is to have at least one copy on another device. Most IT folks suggest two (one off-site - in cloud storage, or perhaps a USB disk stored at a friend's or in a safe deposit box).

Knowing that let's me point you to the way to reset the password. It's the OS reinstall procedure that's described on pages 15-16 here: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RND2110/Duov1_NV+v1_HW_en_06Dec11.pdf
That will reset your password back to netgear1.
It's very important that you don't accidentally do the "factory default" procedure - that will reformat the disks, so all data is destroyed by that procedure. Best to make that backup before you do this.
BTW, there are issues that will go undetected if you don't log into the NAS every now and then. So you should take the time to restore access to the NAS web ui.
