Master browser toggle for ARM/DUO V2 how do I set it?
I have a ReadyNas Duo V2 and I am trying to make it the master browser device in our network. I had this setup before - however it was sheer luck from the rotation of other devices.
I know there was a tool for this, for the SPARC based units - how do I do it for this ARM V2?

- It seems that there is no ToggleMasterBrowser Add-on available for ReadyNAS OS 5 Arm-based units.
Not one that I've seen either. It'd be helpful if Netgear could provide one.Ixa wrote: It seems that there is no ToggleMasterBrowser Add-on available for ReadyNAS OS 5 Arm-based units. - Reading further, the ToggleMasterBrowser is actually intended to disable the device from being the master browser. I wanted to do the opposite.
I still haven't found where to edit the config or how to SSH into the device and find that file. - Perhaps one option is to disable the computer browser service on the client pcs.
- That's all done, every NT based device is set properly. And I've now done the same for my MX2 Linux device. Hopefully the NAS stays as master.
- If its the only browser service available, it has to win the election process.
Even if you can force election, you can still end up with multiple master browsers. - So far so good!
