Readynas Replicate Error/wrong name registered in replicate portal
I have a new-ish ReadyNAS 516 I received under warranty after a failed powersupply in my old PRO 6. I have a 2nd Pro 6 I'm trying to use as a backup for the 516. I've enabled ReadyCloud and Re...
Hello PredatorVI,
For the cloud service of the NAS to work, the "Service" should have a green check mark. Both NAS are they connected to a same switch or router?

Hello PredatorVI,
Sorry for the confusion the leaf P2P virtual adapter only works on the desktop app/clients. The NAS is directly connecting to the replicate server. The red X mark under the services is I believe we need to focus to. Let us go back a little bit, both NAS are on the same local network and you are using replicate to create a backup. Replicate is designed to work over the internet the backup will take time to finish, if you are trying to create a backup you can use local backup option like rsync. As for the RN516 have you tried connecting it to directly to the router or different or totally to a different network for isolation and check if we can get a green check on the service.

NETGEAR Community TeamI do/did realize that ReadyNAS Replicate backs up over the internet.
The goal is to eventually find the best way to backup my critical data off-site (still trying to figure out where I could put it) as well as access the content remotely. I was also simply trying to learn and experiment with Cloud and Replicate but I can't seem to do that on the RN516.
Regardless, I struggle to understand why one works when connected to the same switch and the other doesn't.
I'll try connecting it to the router directly.

Hello PredatorVI,
Connecting the NAS directly to the router, connecting to a different rswitch or to a totally different network would help isolate the problem. Please keep us posted.
