ReadyNas NV+v2 no network connection
I've got an issue with a NV+ V2.
All was working fine until yesterday, when I lost all network connectivity in the room with this in - After some diagnostics, I swapped out the switch that fed everything, and everything else in the room (Laptop, PC, and a media player on the TV) is fine, again. But the ReadyNAS that was also connected to the switch remains inaccessible.
I have power cycled it (power off with the button, wait, press again to come back on) and done same with a removal of mains while off, just in case, to no avail.
The system *looks* like it is working; it boots up and shows me the IP address that it has (Static assigned) and correctly notices if I disconnect the LAN cable. However nothing else in the house can access it - it's not even replying to Pings, and RAIDar doesn't spot it. Both ReadyNAS and switch show link lights, and I've tried a different cable. And whilst obviously this is a new switch, I've tried different ports just to make sure!
Is there anything else I can try?
Is this likely to be a dead ethernet port? (So, did the switch fail and take out the ReadyNAs, or the otehr way around?)
Or does it support a usb ethernet adapter so I can still access it?
Thanks....

OK... plugged the thing into a 10Mbps hub so I could monitor the network traffic from the laptop in case that gave mea a clue as to what was going on, and the **** thing suddenly became accessible for no readilly apparent reason.. Time to delve into the logs, I guess...
Hi irrelevant,
Just checking if you've tried what I've suggested on my last post. Keep this thread updated if you're able to resolve or still having issues with your ReadyNAS.
Kind regards,

NETGEAR Community TeamHi irrelevant,
Well, you can try connecting the ReadyNAS directly to your PC, Router or another switch (supports 100/1000mbps). Also, tell us if the LAN link lights (LEDs) lit up. You may also want to try to perform OS reinstall and see if that helps. I doubt a USB ethernet adapter would work but you can give it a try and let us know what happens.
Kind regards,
