Help my OLD READYnas drives are Not Recognized.

Thank you StephenB for your guidance...

Are you also seeing the correct LED status for the ethernet connection?

- Yes, the ethernet lights all all green and seem active at the backside of the READYnas and NETGEAR switch.

Do you recall if the ReadyNAS was configured to use DHCP? Or was it configured to use a static address?

- It's been so long I'm not certain, but it is possible that I assigned a static IP address 15 years ago.  No idea what it could be though.

There are some other barriers here:

1. Safari (like other browsers) recently dropped TLS 1.0 support, so the HTTPS access needed to get to Frontview will fail.  There is more info on this here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/Workaround-for-ERR-SSL-VERSION-OR-CIPHER...
   - Thank you.  I'll read into it here and see if I can't find a solution using Firefox perhaps?
2. I believe MacOS dropped support for CIFS/SMB 1 some time ago, so you will need to make sure that AFP is enabled on the NAS (and I guess also the Mac).
   - I'm not sure how to do that since I can't log into the NAS at all.  I'll research a little more about how to do that with my MAC though.

If the NAS has a static address, it is possible to do an OS reinstall from the boot menu.  That will reset the network settings to use DHCP, and also will reset the admin password back to factory default - either netgear1 or infrant1 in your case.  Data should not be affected.

• - I'll look into this also to see what I need to do "reinstall it from the boot menu" of the NAS.

Thank you again for your help.
