ReadyNAS no longer available after firmware update to 6.8.0
ReadyNAS was upgraded from 6.6.1 to 6.8.1 from the admin page when prompted. Shortly after contact was lost to the device. The admin page doesn't load, at first it comes with a message that it is of...
Perhaps try enabling ssh, and see if that access persists after the NAS goes non-responsive. Also, try downloading the log zip file during the window that the web UI functions.
Any clues in the logs when it comes back up? Does RAIDar still see it when it goes offline?
Hello C_Ras,
One sign of hardware fault is the boot menu not responding, to access the NAS on read only mode will go to the same boot menu. If you cannot access the read only mode please try to boot the NAS on telnel/tech support mode with or without the hard drives inserted and check if the NAS wil respond.

NETGEAR Community TeamThank you Marty,
I had better luck with the boot menu with the disks out. I have to power on from the main power switch on the back. I will try again to get it to boot to read only and try to get the data out. I was on the Admin page and download a zip file for a few hours, but it the file wasn't usable once it was on the PC.
I have purchased a support contract. The phone number listed doesn't work and I have not gotten response from an e-mail.
I will update with the next boot mode results.
I enabled SSH. It does not respond once the device stalls. When it did allow a connection the terminal crashed after briefly showing a welcome message.
I think you will need paid support for this.
Did you try booting up in "read-only" mode? If that is stable, you could update (or make) a backup.
Raidar doesn't find anything.
I attempted to update to the new OS release but after 3 reboot messages I gave up. I did not try to update in read only mode, though.
