Something is preventing the ReadyNAS from connecting to the ReadyCLOUD server
Previously was able to access my NAS via ReadyCLOUD, but now it says its not connected and when I try to connect it keeps giving me the error "Something is preventing the ReadyNAS from connecting to the ReadyCLOUD server".
I have searched for answers but am yet to get it to work.
Please help.

Are you seeing the two green checkmarks on the cloud page of the ReadyNAS web ui?
What firmware are you running?

On the cloud page I can only see one green tick saying Internet Available.
Firmware is 6.10.4 Hotfix 1

Is the ReadyCloud app turned on?
Assuming it is, I'd start by rebooting the NAS and see if the ReadyCloud check returns. If it doesn't I'd try toggling the ReadyCloud service on and off.

No the ReadyCLOUD sevice is not turned on, when I try and turn it on thats when I get the message: "Something is preventing the ReadyNAS from connecting to the ReadyCLOUD server"
That is the problem. I have restarted multiple times and nothing changes.

Has anything changed with your router setup?
One thing you could try is rebooting the router.

Re: Something is preventing the ReadyNAS from connecting to the ReadyCLOUD server
You could try switching to a different port in the ReadyCloud settings. Another thing that might work is leaving ReadyCloud and then rejoining.
The only other thing I can suggest is seeing if Netgear ( @JohnCM_S or @Marc_V ) is willing to take a look at your logs.
There are other ways to get the services offered by ReadyCloud - personally I use the OpenVPN facility in my router instead. ZeroTier is another VPN option ( @Sandshark uses that).
The sharing services are similar to NextCloud - which you can get for a nominal cost from rnxtras.com.

I've never messed around with VPNs so wouldnt know where to start. This used to be such an easy option.

What router model do you have? Does it include OpenVPN? Netgear Nighthawks and Orbis have it built in.

My experience (some years back now) was hit-or-miss, so I stopped using it. All I am looking for is remote access (not sharing), and I personally think a VPN is the best option for that.

Look in settings (which appears when ReadyCloud is turned on in the app page).

It also has OpenVPN built in, but isn't as easy to configure as Netgear's. But there does appear to be a good writeup in chapter 10 of the user guide: https://static.tp-link.com/2019/201907/20190731/1910020873_Archer%C2%A0VR1600v(AU)_UG_V1.0.1.pdf
To use it, you also need DDNS - which is in section 11.4 of the manual. NoIP offers free DDNS account, but you do need to confirm it once a month. They send you an email, so it isn't difficult.

I can't even turn ReadyCLOUD on through the NAS, thats when I am getting the message it can't connect.

Thanks, I will have a look into this.
