ReadyNAS Duo connection failed on new iMac
My old iMac died and I got a new one and transferred everything using a Thunderbolt cable. I can see the ReadyNAS drives, but when I click on them, it says "Connection Failed." I installed RAIDar_Mac...

It says NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 v2 on the bottom.
Read the link I posted.

There is an ethernet cable running from the drive to my computer. So it isn't physically connected to my router. I'm not sure if it connects to it over wifi?
Normally the NAS is connected to your router. You should then be able to access it over WiFi connections. NAS-> "Network Attached Storage".
How did you access the NAS before you upgraded the MAC?
I just installed RAIDar_6.0 and that didn't help.
Do you recall which firmware is on the NAS (or can you see it in RAIDar)?
I'm not sure what firmware is and I RAIDar doesn't detect anything connected to my computer.
I have the cd it came with. Would that help?
I found this http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/21029 and wondered if locally updating the firmware on the ReadyNAS might be the solution. I put RAIDiator-arm-5.3.11 (is that the correct file?) on a flash drive and plugged it into the ReadyNAS. But I don't know how to get to that screen where it says to "Select Configure > System > Settings, and click Update."
