4423 Topicsreadynas duo v2 disk failed ..
hi guys not completely familiar with all this so i need some advice please. I have a very old readynas duo thats been chugging along for years, however, one of the drives have failed (2 Gb) so maybe a couple of daft questions, if i replace the failed drive with a good one will it rebuild the info with it being raid (set up on default from what i remember) if not is there anyway to read or recover the date easily? the tools out there are pretty expensive and as im a pensioner its not worth the cost. Ive read conflicting articles that say d a factory reset but surely that will erase my data? any advice/help greatly appreciated.. many thanks glenn46Views0likes9CommentsNew Router = Can't Find RN424 drives
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?34Views0likes5CommentsReadyNAS 626X (RN626X00) S/N 4MD46CEL000F1

As there has been no news for ReadyOS updates in the last... 5? year... It might be time to actually replace the operating system with another Linux. I remember seeing some discussions here about doing exactly that. But with the forum re-organization I could not find that. Specifically: Is there an easy way to just go into BIOS and boot from a USB? Is it better to "permanently" install a custom OS, or just keep using the USB to boot? Is there a Serial or VGA output? Or shall I try to add a VGA card to the internal PCI slot (which means "open" operation)? Thanks in advance!Solved107Views0likes3CommentsRN 212 unable to update firmware to 6.9.2 and antivirus failure
I am on firmware v 6.9.1 and attempting to update to 6.9.2. When attempting to download and update through the admin page, the error 6001010023 is displayed. When attempting a manual firmware update from a downloaded image, I get "unrecognised server error" Also, from the 1st Feb18 the antivirus has failed each time with the following log error: "System: Antivirus scanner definition file update failed due to download failure. Check your Internet connection." Has anyone experienced similar problems? Thanks1.3KViews0likes6CommentsX-RAID2 vs RAID 5 or 6
What's the difference, technically between the readynas xraid technology and these other types of raid? Is it just dynamic volume expansion? Related to this article on RAID 5 (and even 6 if you follow the previous article he links) how does xraid2 compare? Is it vulnerable to the same Unrecoverable Read Error situation? If you're very concerned with data integrety should there be a loss of a drive, which configuration would you recommend? RAID10? X-RAID2?3.3KViews0likes3CommentsDisk reuse after factory default
