accessing admin page Ready Nas pro 6

Hi - am hoping someone can help please...i am running a ReadyNas Pro 6 and havent updated anything for probably a few years (bad i know)

Am running a MAC OS Catalina

Ethernet Cable connected to same modem as Ready Nas 192.168.1.21

when i try to copy files from macbook pro to readynas it says going to take 5 hours to copy 25Gb....

I am not sure what the issue is - ping time is 0.8ms

when i try to visit https://192.168.1.21 in a web browser it just says

This site can’t provide a secure connection

192.168.1.21 uses an unsupported protocol.

ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH
 
I also downloaded RAIDar6.5.0
it finds the ready nas ok firmware 4.2.25 and all drives good
click on admin page and just see Netgear screen with yellow outline - volume disk fan temp etc down the bottom but blank  inner screen...
Any help really appreciated
thanks

    The NAS only supports TLS 1.0, and the browsers have recently started to require TLS 1.2.  As a temporary workaround, you can download an old version of FireFox (94.0.2 will work) and configure it to not autoupdate.  There is a Mac version here:

    At that point I'd try to diagnose the performance problem (before proceeding further).

     

    After you've done that you can upgrade to 4.2.31 firmware and then install an add-on:

    Note there is no UI for this, so it won't show up on the add-ons page after the install.

     

    Note you could also convert your Pro 6 to run OS-6 firmware.  That process would require you to do a factory reset.

    Despite the info from RAIDar, it could be a failing disk.  I suggest downloading the log zip file after you regain access to the NAS web ui, and then look at the smart stats, and also look for errors in system.log and kernel.log.

      Thanks Stephen

      downloaded Firefox and logged into admin page - all good and dont see any network settings that  are incorrect or any errors.

      but my copy time for 25 Gb is still around 5 hours - dosent seem right?

      I noticed under nertwork standard settings

      speed is on auto negotiate

      ip address is fixed

      I have no routes listed in routing table

        Did you download the full log zip file as I suggested?

         

        I am thinking there are disk problems (despite the summary status you are seeing in RAIDar and Frontview). SMART stats are in disk_smart.log, other errors would be in system.log and kernel.log

        FWIW, this does depend on what you are copying.  A folder full of small files will take a lot longer than a 25 GB file.

         

        Also,is this just an estimated time, or did you actually let it finish?
