Hi, my client uses ReadyCLOUD to access their shared files remotely.
They have experienced an issue on 3 different occasions over the last year where they have been unable to connect to the NAS/shared folders via ReadyCLOUD. Each time the issue occurred we did some troubleshooting such as turning off/on the ReadyCLOUD setting in the management page, removing/re-adding the ReadyCLOUD account, also rebooting the NAS drive. On each occasion the only way to resolve the issue has been to update the ReadyNAS firmware to a newer version.
Is there some schedule which Netgear sets which causes old firmware versions to stop working with ReadyCLOUD?
Model: RN10200|ReadyNAS 100 Series 2-Bay (Diskless)
I understand that you have encountered ReadyCloud downtime in 3 occasions this past year. There are downtime that was cause by an issue on our ReadyCloud server but was address right away that might be a cause of downtime you have encountered. There is no schedule that is set on old firmware for ReadyCloud to stop working. Firmware updates are provided to address the bugs and issues of the previous firmware.
It may be a coincidence, but we do assure you before a firmware is officially release it will go through a series of test and beta phase. And we do assure you that old firmware will not stop any feature of the NAS from working.
