No network link after disk 1 failure #19879784
Recently my Pioneer Pro's disk 1 failed and now, once fully booted, it does not recognize any network link from either of its ethernet ports, either when connected directly into the modem or even when...
The RMA replacement unit I received has EXACTLY the same problem as i reported re my original ReadyNAS unit (above): "No network link" straight out of the box. I can only assume the replacement unit was not refurbished properly before being sent out to me as a replacement.
As with my first ReadyNAS, I have tried everything to confirm this is NOT the case, including 'Reinstall OS' of this replacement ReadyNAS, another factory reset and repeated firmware update of my router (which works and assigns DCHP addresses perfectly for every other device on my network - and, in fact, the ReadyNAS which refuses any RAIDar connections to it); basically everything as reported re my first ReadyNAS support case, above, applies again.
I've now been without the data on my ReadyNAS volume for a full month. I also now have two faulty ReadyNAS units sitting here in my house: one just received but which apparently needs to be replaced like the first, and the original one which i've only just packaged up in the box and have ready to ship back to Netgear in return for this faulty RMA unit. I paid $40 to have the first one replaced in expedited fashion and now I'm wondering how many more times I'll need to pay $40 to return these things.
Not too sure what to say about this. Gobsmacked.
