I am able to reproduce your issue, and we've got a fix ready. If you update to 6.6.0, then enable Secure Diagnostics Mode and PM me the 5-digit number, I can get your system patched.

RAIDar states:

RAIDar will normally find the ReadyNAS if it is powered, even if there are no disks installed.
Does the NAS respond to ping?

YES..
ping -c 5 192.168.1.26 & 192.168.1.33
sent and recieved back 5 responces.
SO... Genie & the pings can see it..
Maybe it's just too busy with creating and encrypting?
I've just never NOT been able to see the ReadyNAS page.
