New 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?Using ReadyNAS as backend for lightweight web tools — is it reliable?
Hi everyone, I currently maintain a small web tool (for example a gratuity / end-of-service benefit calculator for users in the UAE), and I’m evaluating options to host user data, logs, JSON storage files, and backups. My ideal setup is a lightweight, always-on system without needing a full server. That’s where ReadyNAS caught my interest. Some of the things I’m considering: Using ReadyNAS to host REST APIs, static JSON or YAML config files, and backing up user session data. Ensuring data integrity and performance — especially under concurrent access. Handling firmware updates without breaking API endpoints. Syncing backups to cloud or another NAS for redundancy. A few questions for those experienced with ReadyNAS: 1. Has anyone used ReadyNAS to back a small web service or tool (not just file server)? 2. What is the maximum recommended concurrent requests for lightweight API files (JSON) on ReadyNAS? 3. Which methods have you used for version-safe firmware updates so that custom services are not lost? 4. How do you handle secure access (SSL, tokens) when serving APIs from a NAS that’s also storing private user data? If anyone’s already built similar backend or microservice setups using ReadyNAS, I’d love pointers or pitfalls to avoid. Thank you!ReadyNas Duo stuck on "system starting up"
I desperately need some help. I bought a used ReadyNAS Duo today. After struggling with the password, I eventually got in, but I couldn’t do much besides changing the password. I wasn’t able to upload files, create folders, or perform any other tasks. I decided to try a factory reset, but that seems to have been a mistake. According to Google, I was supposed to turn it off, hold down the reset button, turn it on, and only release the reset when all LEDs were on, after which I could cycle with the backup. However, every time I tried, only the LED for disk 2 lit up. I repeatedly forced it to shut down by removing the power cable because it didn’t make any sense. I also discovered that to access the admin page, I had to use an old browser, as newer browsers wouldn’t work for some reason. Now, when I start up the NAS, it just says “System starting up” and has been stuck like this for a long time. I only have one HDD installed, and when I checked it on my main PC, it appeared fine, but it was completely empty. Could this be related to the issue? Can someone please help me and tell me what to do? It’s very frustrating to have bought something that now seems completely useless.Readynas 316 PSU failing?
My poor 316, which has been rock solid for years, stuttered on power up yesterday. Basically started to power up after pressing power button then shutdown after about 2-3 seconds, did this 3 times. I then removed the power for a few minutes and tried again, successful startup. No issues in logs, no issues with disks. Multiple backups so no great concern about data. I can only think this is a PSU that is beginning to fail so I’ve ordered a new one (there is a seller on eBay UK that sells one that has the correct pinout for my unit. I’ve replaced a PSU on an NV+ which is still going after nearly 20 years and my Ultra 6 is still on it’s original PSU. Without clear evidence that this was a PSU problem I’m not sure whether to leave the existing PSU until there’s a more obvious failure or to replace and hope that there isn’t a more complex problem (like a MB issue) Anyone seen these symptoms before ?ReadyNAS 626X (RN626X00) S/N 4MD46CEL000F1
