Since Windows 11 Update, Unable to Access RNDuoV2.0 Dashboard/Admin Screen

Problem 2) One of my RNDuo v2's has a partial failure, I think the internal network card is having problems because no other device on my network can communicate with this device anymore, even though it can still be seen by but not accessed by RAIDar v6.0.

 

I was wondering which one the following two solutions would stand the most chance of success:

 

a) Connect an external HD to the front USB2.0 socket and backup all my data to the ex HD, with the hope that I can stream that data to one of my other RN devices.

 

b) Try to buy another RNDuoV2.0 (which are now extremely rare) and put the two WD Red Plus HDs, currently in the failing V2, in the new V2.

Here is my advise on this one:  With the units off, switch the drives from this DuoV2 into another that works.  If the problem goes away, then it is the hardware that's the issue.  If it doesn't, then it's something in the OS.

If the problem is cleared up, use the opportunity to back up the contents to an external drive.  Then consider your options.  Buying a used DuoV2 is somewhat risky, as they are quite old.  You also need to carefully look at anything listed as a "Duo V2", as most are really V1's.  Buying another brand of NAS as a replacement, perhaps large enough to replace several of your NAS, is likely going to be a better path.

When you make the backup, consider using NTFS as the drive format, then you don't need to connect it to another NAS to restore the data, you can do so from a PC if you want to.
