Since the OS for your NAS is based upon a very outdated version of Linux, that could be a lot easier said than done. But, as I pointed out, the browser developers, who are still updating their product and who are the cause of the situation, couild also offer a solution since it's not unique to ReadyNAS.
Just face up to the fact that your 15 year old NAS is obsolete. Do you still have a PC, cell phone, etc. that's that old and you still expect updates for it? That even still works so you could update it if one were available?
And, lastly, the forum has offered you a work-around, though it does currently require SSH access and a least some basic Linux knowledge.

Thanks for the response - Yes I have an old version of IE which works
However what is really strange is that EDGE works on the backup, temp and media volumes using https login admin or a user account !?
But as intially stated wont work with my personal login due to new protocol the browser developers use now :-(

If you look, you'll see that when you are browsing a share, you are using http (no encryption) - not https. So that works, since TLS isn't being used at all.
Frontview access is redirected in the NAS Virtual.conf file to always use https - so that will always generate the SSL version error with your NAS.

Check out the link I provided above for other options - https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/Workaround-for-ERR-SSL-VERSION-OR-CIPHER-MISMATCH-problem-for/m-p/2198243
There is an add-on that adds TLS 1.2 support for NAS running 4.2 or 5.3 firmware. People running 4.1 firmware can use the workaround I provided in the link (which removes the https redirection, so http://nas-ip-address/admin will connect to Frontview).

Beware the tls addon is currently breaking systems. Check the issues section before going ahead with the install

To clarify - it appears to be failing on systems that have atom cpus. Unfortunately, that includes Ultra - but not Ultra Plus or Pro.
WhoCares_: is this something you are looking at fixing?
IMO converting to OS-6 is a better option, and the affected systems should be able to be converted.
