RN212 Need to Reinstall OS Often
My RN212 runs ok for a month or 2 and then I either cannot access the admin page or my backups fail to connect. If I reinstall the OS it seems to fix the issue but I seem to have to do this about ev...
This issue is still an annoyance. Everytime I shutdown I have to do a OS reinstall to get to the admin page. The data is still accessible but any backup to the RN212 fails unless I do the OS reinstall. The power to the EPROM after power down seems to be lost.

Are you able to reach the admin page using the NAS IP address? Or does that also fail?
I cannot reach the admin page by IP address or RAIDar. After a shutdown, controlled or not, I have to OS reinstall to be able to access the admin page. The drives are accessible in Windows Explorer but no Admin page.

So worse than what you saw initially.
I still recommend doing a factory reset of the NAS, and consider replacing sdb (particularly if it is still throwing errors).

Why do you think that? The NAS normally boots from the disks (and all config files are on the disks).
Running a disk check and both disks are health.
When I do a controlled reboot I cannot access the Admin page. I was thinking the OS or EPROM got corrupted. And why does it happen when rebooting? I just performed an OS reinstall and everything is working good until the next reboot.
