ReadyNas Pro Business Edition - Raidar 6.5 can't find Netgear storage
I just upgraded my mac os to Catalina. I have been using Raidar 4.38 to access my ReadyNas Pro Business Edition. This version is not compatible with Catalina so I downloaded and installed Raidar 6.5 ...

RAIDar 6.5.0 should be working fine with Catalina. You should check your internet security settings, as it does use broadcast packets that your system might be blocking.
Though RAIDar really isn't needed very often.

Maybe I didn't explain myself well. We are able to access the files on the server. I just can't get to the front panel because Raidar can not find the server.

Just browse to https://nas-ip-address/admin in your browser.
Though based on other posts here, RAIDar will work on Catalina. Generally when it fails (on any PC), it is because there is some form of internet security/firewall that is blocking its discovery packets (or the responses from the NAS). On a Windows PC, that might be Avast Antivirus, or Kaspersky Internet Security, or Firewall software. I'm not a Mac user, so I don't know what packages might interfere with the traffic on a Mac.

The firmware on the server is RAIDiator 4.2.15. Do I need to upgrade?
