Lightning knocked out Ethernet only - worth repairing? Alternate ways to recover (front USB, etc)?

Lightning knocked outh ethernet on TV, router, and NAS – it still runs and lights are green, apparently it will also back up (sloooowly) from front USB.

 

1. Once USB download is complete, how to acces thru USB and Raidar?

 

2. Is it worth repairing?

 

Thanks

There's no way to repair the ethernet port in the NAS.  If the NAS has a second ethernet port, it's possible that the second port still functions.

 

You should be able to connect the USB drive to a PC, and access the data.  Do you recall how the drive was formatted?

 

What ReadyNAS model to you have?  Do you recall when it was purchased?
