No IP Address - ReadyNAS 214
Hi
I got my ReadyNAS 214 a few months ago and i have been having troubles with it being slow and also dropping the IP Address.
I mainly use it as a PLEX Server but today it dropped out and after ...
Thanks Marc,
I turned it off and left it off for a while and turned it back on and it has worked.
I am in the process of updating the firmware as suggested however if the issue is that the NIC is overheating, how will a firmware fix this?
I have also noticed that since rebooting the network traffic to it seems to be much slower than normal ... Would this have anything to do with the NIC overheating?
Hi Marc,
Just finished updating to the new Firmware and the fan is on high and its got No IP Address again...
I'll turn it off and wait again.
That is what the engineering is currently working on, it seems that the issue is not hardware related that is why they included it on the BETA release.
Rebooting the NAS and waiting for a few minutes is the current workaround, NAS getting rebooted might get the issue but the BETA should help eliminate that.

While i understand there is no solution for the no IP issue when the NAS drive is restarted, i am now having issues since upgrading the firmware where the ANS drive just continues to "think" and i can't access it. Pressing the power button doesn't show the IP Address, the LCD is just blank. I am finding this really unstable. I am pretty much having to turn this off every few days.
Can i roll back to the more stable firmware? or is there something else wrong with my NAS drive?
HI callenan83
NAS Drive? It seems that you might be having issues with your Disks if this is the case. Does restarting your NAS wil let it acquire an IP address? You may want to check on the logs (volume.log, disk_info.log, smart_history.log) and see if you have any failing disks. Getting the OS partition full might also contribute to the issue.
I would also suggest contacting NETGEAR Support at this time so we can get assistance from the experts.
