Trying to communicate with old ReadyNAS Duo
I have an old ReadyNAS Duo (2012-ish?) that I am trying to get up and running using a Windows 10 laptop on the same wired network. I have loaded RAIDar (Windows ver 4.3.8) and can identify the NA...

The current firmware version reported by RAIDar is 4.1.16
Starting here, 4.1.16 was the final firmware version for your NAS. So there is no upgrade.

The error is because current browsers require TLS 1.2 for HTTPS and your NAS doesn't support that.
Use Firefox, and set security.tls.version.min to 1 (browse to about:config and search for the setting). You will still need to click through a security warning, since the NAS uses a self-signed certificate. But it will connect.
Once you are able to access frontview (and enable ssh if you haven't already done so), you can also modify a file on the NAS to let you connect with ordinary HTTP.

Note the add-ons in the discussion thread that add TLS 1.2 to 4.2.x and 5.3.x ReadyNAS aren't compatible with your 4.1.x system.
