ReadyNAS 102: Can't install any application

Hello all

I'm using a ReadyNAS 102 successfully for a while: 7 years.

After a power shutdown, It became unreachable from network.

I needed to reset it to factory default settings, including all the data because an OS reset didn't solve the problem.

The network interface became visible after the factory reset.

Then I upgraded it to the last available firmware version 6.10.8

Since that, its impossible to install any application.

Message: "Cannot install application xxxx" whatever "xxxx" is.

I installed a newer firmware 6.10.9, provided by NetGear suport team themselves.

 

No change.

 

Then I reset it once again to factory settings: it get the last firmware after, that means, no change:

Impossible to install any application.

 

The NetGear support team doesn't what to continue solving this issue due to the age of my device.

 

Is there anybody able to help me ?

 

Thank you for your help.

    This is the reason why my ReadyNAS "server" role was reduced to a single passive network drive.

    And I'm disapointed about that.

    But that's life, Isn't it ????

     

    You can fix the install problem if you take the steps outlined in the posts I linked.

      Thank you StephenB.

       

      Yes I'm effraid that it sounded like that....

       

      Therefore, I modified my backup policy and finally installed Idrive for desktop on each PC instead of installing it once on my ReadyNAS server. And it works, as soon as each PC is running during the scheduled backup!

       

      That means that my ReadyNAS is now no more than an single network drive, which could be replaced by a single USB device.... It is no longer a "server".

       

      Thanks again.

        FreeFileSync is another path you could use.  It runs on the PCs, and can back them up on schedule to the NAS.   It can be set to wake up the PC when it is time to do the backup.
