ReadyNAS 212
After owning my ReadyNAS 212 for over five years, primarily using it for Plex, every single app has suddenly disappeared, including Plex and not one app shows as available. I am beyond perplexed. I’v...
Hi Anisha,
Thanks very much for your reply. I ended up resetting the iOS and, unfortunately, recopying my very large library to my NAS because it wouldn’t recognize the previous files.
I have another question I would greatly appreciate an answer to, does the computer I use to access RAIDar have to be physically connected to the NAS? Every time I try to connect it tells me I must be on the same network, which I am, but I can never connect. I want to keep my NAS in a different room from my router and use an ethernet powerline adapter. I bought a USB to USB cable because my laptop doesn’t have an ethernet port, but it didn’t let me connect to RAIDar away from my router.
Thanks again,
John

"The same network" means compatible IP addresses. It sounds as if your NAS has lost access to the internet (where the apps are located) and to your PC. Did you make changes on the network (new router, maybe)?
What IP address doe RAIDar show for your NAS? What IP address does IPCONFIG (run from a command prompt) show for your PC?
You cannot connect to the NAS via USB.
