A week ago I had a problem with my Mac laptop harddrive and it had to get wiped and reinstalled via timemachine. Since then I have not had contact with my NV+ and I'm trying to get all the settings right... I can't get Raidair, or FrontView to work or the little status app on Dashboard. I usually use the NV+ with AFP through the finder and that's not working. The NV+ is connected via a THunderbolt Ethernet adapter, which has been reliable for over a year. In the network settings it says the THunderbolt ethernet is connected but I suspect my IP or subnet mask or router settings might be wrong. I don't know what they should be, I entered what I thought they were and that isn't working... Oh and I'm running OSX 10.9.5. I'm not very network savy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...
Re: Lost communication with Readynas NV+ need help
Great suggestion and super easy! These are the trouble shooting tips that you can't find in the manual or faq. I haven't had the NAS set up like that, off a router, for 6 years or so - it's 10 years old! As soon as I did that raidair and radiator were working again and the CIFS and AFP shared drives popped up in the finder.
Do I need to take any added security measures now that the NAS is accessible over wifi? Is there anything else I should be doing here?
If ever you have an NV+ v1, kindly check this link below as reference guide on how you can set permissions for users that you want to allow access on your shares:

Generally, you should make sure that your WiFi network has a good passphrase and is using WPA2-Personal. Also set the encryption to AES if you have a choice there.
The larger security concerns are if you enable over-the-internet access to your NAS (forwarding ports to the NAS). If you want to do that, check for the current beta release for the NAS. Often security patches are released as beta, in order to get them out more quickly.
