Remote Access Readynas RND2000 duo V2
As you can see I have a Nas drive which is a few years old. I have never used it remotely but I would like to now. Am i right in thinking that the Readynas remote app has been replaced by ReadyCLOUD. I have logged into ReadyCloud but it doesn't see my Nas drive. The Nas drive is on firmware revision 5.3.13 which I believe is the latest version. Please can anybody advise me of the best way to set it up so I can access the shares from my laptop when I am not at home.
Thanks

You should still be able to use Ready Remote with your NAS (you can not use ReadyCloud, as that requires OS 6).
Another approach is to use a router that supports OpenVPN (some Nighthawk models and Orbi support it). Then you can access your full home network over a VPN using either a PC or an iOS or Android device.
Thanks for your help. I've downloaded Readynas remove for Windows 10 onto my laptop and sucessfully logged in (created a user account). However thats as far as I can get. I go into the admin for my nas drive and turn on remove access and readydrop but when I try and enter a username it doesn't find any. Also when I go into readynas remove it won't connect to the nas drive and doesn't find any devices. Any advice greatfully received.
Thanks
Hello portiah,
ReadyCloud is different from ReadyNAS Remote. Try creating one at http://remote.readynas.com/ it is also where you can download the desktop app.
Please see page 13 at the ReadyNAS Remote user manual.
