Readycloud Desktop client for Mac not connecting

I have a Readynas RN31600 which I try to access with the ReadyCloud Desktop for Mac version 1.6 (latest avaialble).

 

I cannot connect to the Readynas as the app keeps saying "connecting". I was able to connect in the past, but not anymore. I've tried unregistering and re-registering the Netgear account in the router (it's a Netgear D8500) but no luck.

 

However, I can access the Readynas with the browser via http://readycloud.netgear.com and also with the Readynas static address.

 

Any idea why the desktop app does not work? Thanks for any hint!

@AlbNet

 

Have you checked if a DNS server is present on the Network settings? You may want to add a DNS server like google (8.8.8.8) and then reboot the NAS and reinstall the ReadyCloud app.

ReadyCloud on the router and on the ReadyNAS are completely independent - each ReadyCloud host is registered on it's own.

 

As you can access your ready NAS using the ReadyCloud Web portal, the registration to the cloud is fine.
