RAIDar 6.1 is the latest version - but Netgear is more focused on OS6 NAS than older end-of-life NAS. There are some issues with RAIDar 6.x and the legacy NAS.
The simplest answer is to use RAIDar 4.3.8 with your older NAS.

I know. But it still is a duo v1. Ready the link I posted, it explains the labeling. Calling it a v2 can result in getting wrong advice here.

When i check the label on the bottom of the ReadyNas, it tells me : Readynas Duo RND2000 V2
Last week i upgraded the firmware to version 4.1.14 becuase of the problems i run in the afther
i connect this Nas with my new PC
If i access the management environmet manual bij put in HTTPS:// < Ip address>>/admin in the browser
ik works normaly and when i accept the message, sayintg the the certificate is not valid, i can log in
and access the management environment.
In the meantime i've download the old version of RAIDar, 4.3.8 and that works normally ???
But when i seurch the support site of Netgear it tells me that version 6.1 is the last version ?

The only issue with RAIDar 6 and RAIDiator 4.1 is that some earlier versions of RAIDiator 4.1 (4.1.0-4.1.3) use an extremely old protocol; for those versions, you would want to use RAIDar 4. RAIDiator 4.1.3+, RAIDiator 4.2, RAIDiator 5.3, and ReadyNAS OS 6 should all work with RAIDar 6.
