ReadyNAS Pro 4 [X-RAID2] looses connection to LAN repeatedly after update to RAIDiator 4.2.31
My Ready NAS Pro 4 looses accessability from the local LAN on transfer of larger amounts of data. A factory reset did not solve the problem. Restoring data from an USB-Disk works. My ReadyNAS Pro 4 ...
Thx, I wanted to make sure I didn't send you in circles. The NIC ports often fail together, but it is worth trying. There are some issues that only show up on one port (connector problems for instance).

I will try this. I did the update via update file (so I downloaded RAIDiator 4.2.31 and saved it as a file), but i fear that this file is defective and so reinstalling the OS like instructed on page 21-22 from the NAS might not help. How can I make the NAS use a new OS-File?
The OS reinstall procedure I referenced reinstalls selected OS files stored on the disk(s) from the flash memory of the NAS. No file upload is involved. It will also reset the admin password to netgear1 and will reset your IP configuration to use DHCP.
If you use NIC bonding, I think it would also disable that. So if you do use bonding you should probably disconnect one of the ethernet connections before you do the OS reinstall.
The boot menu procedure is different from over-installing the NAS firmware through the web ui - which does need you to upload firmware from your PC, and which doesn't change the admin password or the IP configuration.
