Random "Connecting to the ReadyNas Admin Page" Screens #26273218

Looking for ideas or help on how to solve this issue.

 

When I am connected to my ReadyNas 516 via a web interface, I get random screens that pop up saying "Connecting to the ReadyNas Admin Page" with a progress bar.

 

If I wait for the 10 minutes for the progress bar to finish, nothing happens.

If I refresh the web page, the normal admin page will return.

 

This happens when viewing from a PC, MAC, or an IPAD, computer at random intervals.

Otherwise the NAS appears to work fine.

 

Should I be worried that the unit is about to fail?

    Yes I figured that out.  After paying for one year of support, the support agent suggested I turn off anti virus and then load firmware 6.4.1.

    Guess what, the latest firmware has a major bug.  The virus software causes file access to be extreamly slow.

        I didn't get your logs.

        There is a known issue with the anti-virus service and 6.4.1. You may wish to try disabling that service and going back to 6.4.1 and seeing if that makes any difference.
