ReadyNAS Duo V1 - Help Needed - Remote\Cloud Access & Applications
Hi all,
I Am Hoping (praying) someone can help me. I recently purchased what I thought was a second hand ReadyNAS DUO V2 (upgradable to newer 6.5 firmware) unit off eBay. My assumptions we're based on the model number, I have since learnt about the minefield which is figuring out if a ReadyNAS Duo is a "true" V2.
The unit works for what I need it for EXCEPT I am unable to locate any applications for the unit nor can I get remote\cloud access to the unit.
My questions:
1) Now that v1 is end of life where can I download copies of the applications for this unit?
2) How can I setup remote\cloud Access to this unit?
3) Is there any custom firmware\applications available?
Thanks in advance,

One limitation is that this NAS can't handle disks > 2 TB.

Current (and final) firmware is here: https://kb.netgear.com/000038792/RAIDiator-Version-4-1-16-Sparc Though check-for-updates will likely work. Documentation is here: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RND2000v1_(ReadyNAS_Duo_v1).aspx

Plus some that have a small cost here: https://rnxtras.com/readynas-os4-sparc
These aren't fast and have limited memory, so don't overdo the add-ons.
Also, the last firmware update was a few years back, and no security patches have been applied since them. Personally I don't recommend exposing this NAS to the internet.

ReadyCloud only is available for OS-6 NAS (not 4.1). Getting a router with OpenVPN is the safest way to get remote access.

If you meant add-ons, then I answered that in #1.

- Note that the Duo v1 (runs 4.1.x) and Duo v2 (runs 5.3.x) are both EOL. Neither of those runs OS6.
Thanks for your assistance, will check these out.
When I entered the serial into Netgear's Website it gives me:
ReadyNASRND2000
RND2000v2 (ReadyNAS Duo v2) – Diskless
Model / Version: RND2000 v2On the information page it shows Radiator 5.3.13 which I tried to upgrade to (when this failed I went searching for information and found even though it's named a v2 it is infact a v1)
Thanks so much again :)

Just look at the front panel. Does it say
- Duo v2 or
- Duo
