Re: Your NETGEAR Storage is not accessible from this computer, please check your network setting.
Open the Windows Credential Manager, and then enter a credential for 192.168.168.168. The username (and password) should be used by a ReadyNAS local account. Note that "admin" works for this.

Hey!
I changed the network IP in 192.168.168.1 and the Readynas become accessible again. I could access the admin page. But one minute later it was not accessible again...
Re: Your NETGEAR Storage is not accessible from this computer, please check your network setting.
Firmware is 4.1.15 (just updated).
The Readynas contains the backup of my data (plus some more data).
So, RAIDar sees the NAS, the find button works (leds blink on the NAS), I can access the admin page, but the "browse" button leds to message that sounds like (translated from italian) "cant access \\192.168.168.168. User may don't have the necessary authorization. Contact server administrator".

Having the same issue. Nas shows 192.168.1.104. Answers pings and shows up in raidar however no model no firmware and no drives are listed. It's a 2 bay Nas model RNDP2000 that's been sitting on my shelf..
Any thoughts appreciated as I cannot access the admin page or shares. Thanks

Tried to connect using raidar. Not sure what to do next. Factory reset would wipe and correct?
Thanks for getting back. Used to work fine was in storage and now it seems dead. (Doesn't display model firmware or drives in raidar does power up and show network activity thou.

You could try powering down, and then reseating the two disks trays.
Are you using RAIDar 4.3.8?
Also, are you seeing one of these blinking led patterns?
LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by an 1s delay, followed by a number of slow blinks. The number of slow blinks will be the error code.
Current error codes: 1 - Vendor mismatch 2 - No disks detected 3 - Bad contents on root partition of disks 4 - Flash error 5 - Unsupported RAID configuration

I suspect a hardware failure.
Try powering down the system, removing the disks (labeling by slot) and rebooting. See if you get the LED status for "no disks" that's listed above.
If you do, then if you have a spare disk, you should try a factory install using the boot menu, with only the spare in place, and see if that succeeds.
An alternative way to force the factory install is to wipe the spare disk first with WD's lifequard program (it has a write-zeros test - the "quick" version is enough to return the disk to an unformatted state). The system is designed to automatically do the factory install if the disk is blanks.
If you can't do the factory install, then check the warranty status. The hardware warranty is 5 years for the original purchaser. If you are covered, then contact support via my.netgear.com and ask for an RMA.

OK pulled disks and booted. Just get blue power light and no red LED lights. Hard to tell bit might have small blue light under power light. Could just be the power light making it appear that way...
Almost sure there is no warranty. I'll call netgear to check. Any suggestions or this unit just broken.

The warranty is 5 years from purchase date and is not transferable. If you registered it, then you can check the warrany status at my.netgear.com. If you didn't, you'll need to track down the purchase date (and Netgear might ask for proof of purchase anyway).

I already suggested trying a spare disk (that would be wiped). The idea there was to rule out any possibility that one of the disks was creating the problem.
Testing the disks in a windows PC (seatools for seagate, lifeguard for Western digital) is another useful step.
I don't think it's productive to try to sort out why it failed - after all It was sitting on the shelf gathering dust for ~18 months. There are several possibilities, including someone knocking over the unit and putting it back on the shelf.
It's better to try to isolate what has failed (chassis, one or both disks, or power brick).
