ReadyNAS shown on network but not accessible after upgrade to OS 6.5.0
I upgraded the OS today and got the ReadyCLOUD changeover completed to day successfully, however when I try to access the NAS through the 'Network' ( intranet ), it says that the device is inaccessib...
- Yeah I have it sorted out for now... Dropping the ReadyCLOUD service for now. Rebooting clears it out too.
Hi all,
I have the same problem after going to 6.5.0. All network connections work (media player, Win 7), but SMB on Windows 10. The work around I have put in place, is to create a new local user (not using any MS account) and re-map my SMB shares...This is working! I believe the problem to be, if you are using the same email address on your ReadyNas account as your MS acount (for login) and different passwords then SMB does not work. Netgear should have tested this better before releasing this firmware! Also they should be send out an email warning people about this problem.
Hi All
A lot of people are linking MS accounts with the SMB access issues, in my case i believe this is not true. I say this because my windows 10 PC has only 1 local user account, that is me. I do not use the MS email account to access my windows PC. Also i have never downloaded any readycloud app on my PC.
I have found two ways of accessing my shares through SMB.
Option 1. Open the run command and type \\ip address of NAS. Note: If you use the name of your readynas to access the shares rather than the ip address then it fails.
Option 2. Open the MS Credential Manager and add a windows credential account. The network address will the the name or ip address of you NAS drive. Followed by the user name and password of your user accounts. If you have more than one user then multiple windows accounts in the credential manager will need to be created.
Hope this all makes sence, these 2 options worked for me, it is just a work around and i am hoping Netgrear will fix this issue ASAP as i want it to work how it did before.

That means that your problem is NAS discovery, not SMB. Did you try pinging the NAS by name?
BTW I am running 6.5 on two NAS and have no issues with accessing them (from vista, win-7 and win-10).
Update....
The did option 2 as Maximus360 said and this works as well.

Thanks,
Actually now .. I can access The NAS with non Windows 10 systems... but still not able to access with my main system...
It took a Gneric Credential but would not allow me to add a Windows credential...
I keep getting an error message saying that multiple connections with multiple accounts are not allowed?
It will show up with WSD listing in Network.. and will show a list but it will not allow access. same thing using IP
Tried to edit but could not.... I rebooted my system and disabled ReadyCLOUD startup in the Task Manager. Now I am accessing the device again. Not for sure if it has anything to do with it.. but I seem to be accessing the system again as normal. Will report back in that changes overnight... Sort of strange and glitchy if even the work around will not work.. It means loosing the ReadyCLOUD option all together if the two are connected.
THANKS!!!
This "option 2" has also worked for me!! Many thanks to Maximus 360!
