ReadyNAS Duo v2 - Unable to connect File Explorer Win 10/11 with RNDuov2's directories and files
Dear Community Members, It's been a time since I've been on the forum, anyway I must first describe my current problematic equipment: 3 x ReadyNAS Duo v2 running firmware 5.3.13 1 x New PC ...

I just can't work out how to get my Win10/11 File Explorer to see the files WinXP could easily see and work with.
Go into "turn windows features on or off" on the PC (just type it into the windows search bar). Enable the SMB 1.0 client - no need to match other settings in the screen shot. You will get a security warning, that you need to ignore.

Chrome, Edge, and Firefox have all dropped TLS 1.0 support (which your v2 NAS use when you access the web ui/dashboard). Can you still log into the NAS web ui? There is a solution if you can't.

A thought just popped into my old noggin, is there an older, third party, Internet Explorer compatible browser that I could possibly use instead?
Firefox nicely posts archives of all their old releases. You could similarly install an old version of Chrome and disable autoupdate.
Version 96.0.4664.110 ought to work, it can be installed from here: https://google-chrome.en.uptodown.com/windows/versions This is not a google site, and not a site I've used before.

Hi Stephen
Thanks for your comprehensive instructions on how to regain communication with Dashboard on my 3 x RNDuoV2's, but, unfortunately for me, most of your instructions are just too much for me to handle.
They aren't as difficult as they might appear. You could just try them (perhaps substituting Chrome for FireFox, since your normal browser is FireFox). Then if you get stuck on a step, just follow up and ask.
Hi again Stephen
I downloaded and installed Chrome Version 96.0.4664.110, as suggested, but unfortunately it did not work, i.e Chrome was unable to open any of my RNDuoV2.0's Dashboards.
At this stage of my upgrade process, I will now wait until the chap that is actually setting up my new PC for me, more importantly transferring my old data and applications from my WinXP disks to my new Win10/11 disks, turns up and installs the new disks into my new machine.
I will let you know how I get on.
Regards
UK Bob

Did you notice if it updated to a newer version during the install?
Well Stephen
I did check to make sure that Chrome did not update itself when I downloaded it, in fact an "update button" did appear and baited me to press it but I did not, regardless of all that it just did not work.
Funny thing though, when I swiched on my PC this morning I found that Chrome was 75% of the way through updating itself, makes me believe that even though I had switched off my PC it seems it was not totally swiched off, somewhat like a smart phone.
Anyway, I'll wait for the chap completing my PC to turn up and install the new HDs containing my old stuff.
Until then.

Browsers all auto-update by default. Normally you need to go into the browser settings to change that. But I just checked that for Chrome, and Google makes it pretty difficult to disable the updating. There is guide here:
But maybe wait for your support person, and have them do it. The good news is that once you (or him) installs the add-on, this won't be a problem.
