5089 TopicsNew NAS & Giving Up X-RAID
In researching my possible replacement for my RN424 (which is fully operational, just no longer supported), I have come to appreciate the benefits of X-RAID. While I am technically competent in many ways, I am not an IT expert, and up to this time (for the past 10-12 years in which I have been using a Netgear RND2110 and then the current RN424), I was unaware of the benefits that X-RAID and what it had been performing for me in the background: basically, managing the sizes of my four volumes (shares). In contrast, Asustor NAS' apparently do not provide this feature. (I am considering their AS6804T.) It seems that I have to manage the sizes of the volumes myself, and I can find no clear direction on how to do this in their support resources. Furthermore, the documentation says that volumes can be expanded (how I cannot tell so far) but they can not be reduced, providing fertile ground for my making largely irreversible mistakes. If I have found any disadvantage of X-RAID, it is the inconvenience that Windows does not report the actual utilization of individual volumes; instead, Windows Explorer reports each volume as total utilization of the total NAS capacity. As a result, I don't know how large each volume actually is, or how to "size" each volume in my hypothetical new NAS (TBD) if I want to migrate and replicate each volume in the new system. The point of this post is not to depend on you all for me to learn about Asustor devices; perhaps it is best that I post this in an Asustor forum somewhere. But, I would be grateful for any verification of my understanding, and any insights any of you might have. I assume that many of you here are or have been in the same position as myself and have had to deal with the same issue.Solved43Views0likes4CommentsReadynas ultra 2 update problem
On October the first My readynas ultra 2 couldn't get updates for the virusscanner and it wasn't possible anymore to get updates. Also no apps are available and the updates that are running aren't accesable anymore. If i want to update i got the message hostname not solvable.Communication failure check your internet connection, dns- or proxyconfiguration. Has something changed at Netgear and if i reset the Nas to its factory settings have i lost all the shares because the settings were deleted. Can someone tell me more in English or preferably in Dutch because that s my native language. Thank you.Replacement for RN424
I have been using an RN424 (with 3 drives in RAID configuration) for years. It seems that since FW and security updates are discontinues, it is time for me to look for a replacement NAS. I would appreciate any recommendations for an replacement unit. thanks52Views0likes4CommentsPrb sur une baie Nas 10400

My RN424 is connected to a netgear network switch (GS116), and the switch is connected to a ~20-year-old T-Mobile TM-AC1900 router (rebadged ASUS router), which connects to my DSL modem. This setup has been stable for at least 20 years, has survived power outages, etc. But it is time to move on from DSL. I am attempting to evaluate T-Mobile Wireless Internet, and to that end, I obtained the T-Mobile Internet Gateway. However, when I disconnected the existing router and internet connection from the network switch, and plugged in the wireless gateway, the PC's on the network no longer see the network drive. I can access the internet fine from all wired PC's (after they are rebooted) and via wifi, using the wireless gateway, but my primary PC (W10) now says that the mapped network drives are in use. I assume that the other W10 and W11 PC's on the network are the same, but I haven't checked. I removed the wireless gateway and reverted back to the old router and internet connection, and everything is operating as it was. I am considering connecting the wireless gateway to the old router's WAN port so that the old router, with its network control functions, will still be inline to see if that works, but I thought I'd check for advice here first. After all, I want to retire the old router as well. I am not a network expert, although I did get this all this up and running years ago and have "managed" the network since then. Any advice on how I can remove the old router and install the new network gateway with the least trouble possible?94Views0likes10CommentsRND2000-V2 cannot reset to select factory default
i have two RND2000-v2 that both are causing the same problem. Let me first say that i do not have the current password so i have to do a boot and default to factory settings. If i power up, with a good windows formatted disk in i get the flashing lights showing "bad boot Sector" i can power down normally. if i power up with no disks in i get the flashing lights showing no disk. i can power down normally. if i hold reset when powering up it seems to start up, the boot menu never appears, but after some time the power button continues to flash, and the activity led flashes, it will do this for hours. the boot menu never appears. what's more, i cannot power down using the power button. I can see the ip address assigned to the readynas, but i cannot access the front page, Raidar cannot see the Readynas either. whats worse its the same with two identical units. i can only conclude that i am doing something wrong as i just cannot get to the boot menu, any help would be appreciated, i just want to default to factory settings.

Bonsoir, J'ai un Readynas RN104 en fonction depuis 10 ans. Depuis quelques jours il semblerait que l'antivirus ne se mette plus a jour. J'ai un message d'erreur : "La mise à jour du fichier de définition du scanner antivirus a échoué en raison d'un problème de téléchargement. Vérifiez votre connexion Internet." Le message d'erreur est envoyé par mail, je pense donc que la connexion Internet est OK. Est ce la fin du support antivirus sur ce modèle ? Ou le problème peut venir d'ailleurs ? Certains parmis vous ont ils constaté le même problème ? Merci a ce qui prendront le temps d'étudier ce problème. Bonne soirée71Views0likes4Comments
