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"...

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.

Thanks. I have sent you a PM requesting more details.
If you like I can review your case and can ask customer service what we can do. Note, if you want a refund and they approve that, support may ask you for a contract if you seek help with an issue unrelated to a firmware upgrade.Edit: I found your case.
Do you have the issue with Lightroom on 6.4.1 when AV is disabled? If you still have that issue, then to look into that problem I think support would need you to keep to contact.- McRob1Jan 08, 2016Luminary
I also had another issue with the NAS that support helped me with. It kept dropping it's connection to the admin page. After much troubleshooting with the help of Level 2 support they determined that it was not the NAS.
I continued to troubleshoot possible issues with my LAN and determined that it was my Apple Time Machine router. After swaping the router out with a non apple brand, all works normally again.
I was even able to get support from apple on the out of warranty, time machine without paying for a service contract. Different companies have different policies on support I guess.
I learned my lesson on which products to purchase in the future.
No need to request a refund for the support.
Thanks for asking.
