RN102 LAN access only. Cannot access Internet

I set up this NAS and it is unable to reach the internet while accessing LAN is no problem.  When I try to enter Readycloud info on the Cloud tab, I get invalid ID/Password (I can login fine on Readycloud page).  Also can't install apps.  Prompts me to download new list of apps and that fails.  Not sure what is causing this.  When I fist plugged it in I could discover it, now that does not work either.  Manually downloaded the latest firmware and succesfully applied it, but that did not fix the problem.

 

Any ideas?  Thanks

The product datasheet claims it does, but there are no settings for it shown in the user manual.  In newer Netgear routers, there is an IPv6 control in the advanced setup menu.  Maybe take another look and see if you can spot it.  If not, disable it on the NAS just in case.  Also if you have parental controls enabled, try disabling them and retest.

 

Do you have a spare disk?  One path forward is to shut down, remove your disks (labeling by slot), and doing a fresh install on the spare disk.  All data on the spare disk would be lost (so it shouldn't be part of your array, and it shouldn't have anything on it you care about).  It doesn't need to be on the HCL, as this is just a test to see if the problem is the NAS software, or something else.

Did you set a static I.P. address in the NAS configuration. If so, did you forget to specify the DNS server addresses? If you do have those specified you could try adding an additional DNS server entry e.g. 8.8.8.8

No, I'm using the default DHCP automatic assignment. So all DNS are filled in. 

 

Thanks

And are those DNS server addresses correct?

You could still try adding 8.8.8.8.

I manually added the 8.8.8.8 to DNS and it did not resolve the issue

Hello Zonker,

 

I found that you are still entitled to the phone support. Please contact support center so they can have a look and escalate if needed.

No unfortunately I'm not entitled to support.  That is why I posted the question here

Hello Zonker,

 

Is this a pre-owned unit? When did you buy this NAS?

I purchased this week from eBay seller.  Support told me that it was not covered because of this.  It was an open box item

Hello Zonker,

 

That must the reason, that is a pre-owned.

 

Moving forward, what is the current firmware version of your NAS?

Hello Zonker,

 

This NAS is connected to the same switch/router the LAN computers are, right?

 

Can you try 6.4.2-T72 (Beta 2)?

Re: RN102 LAN access only. Cannot access Internet

Yes all on same switch/router and I have another brand NAS with no issues as well.  Not sure about the firmware change as the old version 6.2.5  didn't work either.  Is there anything I can post for the logs?

Hi Zonker

 

I understand that ReadyCloud and App install aren't working.  That could be due to lack of internet access, but it conceivably could be something else.  Try "check for update" and see if it tells you that it can't reach the update server.

 

Also, do you have IPv6 enabled in your router (and the NAS).  Or only IPv4?

When I check for the firmware update on the Overview page - nothing happens.  When i click on the check for updates on the settings page I get the spinning wheel, but nothing happens when it stops.  Seems like neither are hitting the internet.

Re: RN102 LAN access only. Cannot access Internet

I could not find the IPv6 settings on the Netgear C3700-100NAS modem/router to disable them.  Instead, I disabled the IPv6 settings on the RN10200 under Network gear icon and rebooted.  Now when I click on "check for updates" link on the Overview page and the Check For Updates button on the Settings page, it now returns "Your System Does not need a Firmware Update".  I also see the green checkboxes for Internet Available and Services Available under the cloud tab which were not there before.

 

So looks like it is now fixed.  Thanks for all your help!
