Hi does any one know where to get drivers for the RND2150/2 , I have been trying for a long time to connect to it but my old pc went bang and now there does not appear to be drivers on the Netgear site ??????
thank you in advance.
Get the appropriate Java from https://www.java.com/en/ - note a reboot might be required to become active.
RAIDar 6.5 download is available from https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads?article=20684#raidar - the challenge required might be on how to download the .exe file ...

It's a NAS, accessed like a server over a network. You don't need drivers. You can download RAIDar, but it's just an aid in finding and maintaining your NAS.
However, you have two problems because of the age of the unit's OS: modern browsers won't allow you to access it (for either share access or admin UI access) because it's limited to TLS V1.0, and SMB1, to which your NAS is also limited, is depreciated in Windows and Mac OS's. You can enable it in Windows, I don't know about Mac,
Assuming you have a Windows machine, using Edge in IE mode should allow you to access the interface.
Thank you for the help but I am not computer savy
RND2150/2 reads like a ReadyNAS RND2150 v2. No driers required, as this is a network attached storage device (NAS). You access this from Windows (or any other computer able to access SMB 1.0*) computer using the SMB protocol. Sure, you might have to enable SMB 1.0 (CIFS) support on your newer Windows 10/11. Smarter (but requiring some more effort) would be to migrate this to a ReadyNAS OS 6 system. Yes, this isn't really supported - but this applies to your outdated NAS anyway.
Thank you for the assistance but I am not that compute savy

While the process is not difficult: Most active users here never had to convert an r4 to an OS6 system. Doing it requires a full backup (independent of the the ReadyNAS), inherits the need for a factors reset including erasing all existing volumes. Take it as a not so-smart advise from my side.
thank you for the information but I do not have Java loaded there for Raidar 6.0 will not down load. I have tried loading Java and no go
