ReadyNAS Duo unresponsive and "Act" light blinking
My unit has run perfectly since installing it around 2014. Very soon after a firmware update it became unresponsive as if it is too busy to talk to me. I can occassionally access the drive. I can enter the admin password but never get the control panel screen in return... it times out. Everything looks normal except the "Act" light is blinking. After a few days I unplugged it... since it would not reboot via buttons. It restarted and continued the same behavior. This has gone on for a few days now. Can someone help me with what is possibly happening and how to resolve this?

I'm sure someone will ask for the firmware version. I would have mentioned that but can't get into the system. It was probably whatever is "the latest" becuase it prompted for an update when I got into the admin page a couple of weeks ago.
Got in briefly and got the firmware version:
6.10.5 Hotfix 1
FWIW, calling this a "Duo" will create some confusion, since the Duo (and Duo v2) were specific two-bay models. The RN212 isn't a Duo.

Hotfix 1 is supposed to fix the issue you are having ( a login loop when you try to access the NAS web ui).
Were you logged out when you "got in briefly"? Is it possible that your issue is actually resolved now?
