As I continued to study the documentation, I realized that the Rear Panel pictures do not match with my device. While I'm on the right code product page registered under the device : RND2000v2. The documentation refers to this manual while my device corresponds to this manual.
I did the Factory Reset procedure as for ReadyNas RND1xxx and not as for RND2xxx as my model and it works.
If I can get some advice, even if you are on the technical page of your NAS, check all, even the images.
Thank you Netgear for the time lost.Best regards

Netgear made a huge blunder and re-used the "V2" designation. There are even NASs that say they are a "V3". But your NAS is clearly a V1 since it runs OS 4.1.x. A true V2 matches the inage you found. You cannot upgrade a V1 to OS 5.x or 6.x.
I see many people selling V1 NASes on eBay as V2 or V3 because that's what's on the paper label. But the pictures clearly show they are a "true" V1. So, buyer beware.
