The firmware for the ReadyNAS RN212 has not been updated for a long time. At this point, I no longer expect any functional improvements. https://www.netgear.com/support/product/rn212/ However, what I want from NETGEAR is a clear announcement regarding whether or not security issues, if discovered, will still be addressed. If the product is completely unsupported, that should be clearly stated as well. Typically, when a product reaches End of Life (EOL), it is explicitly noted in red text on the firmware page. The issue here is that there is no such indication, yet the firmware has not been updated for an extended period, and there has been no official announcement whatsoever.71Views0likes2CommentsRN2120 Hot Swap HDD by Accident now Re-syncing
Hi, new to the community, looking for wisdom :) I've got a RN 2120 with 4 x 4TB WD Black drives, the NAS is setup as RAID5 for home use storage, total space comes out to 10.9TB. The hard drives are brand new and have nothing on them. What happened today is I accidentally pulled out a hard drive and popped it back in while the NAS was running. As a result, the hard drive that was out for a split second is now being re-synced and its taking 20 hrs or so to perform the function, is this normal under RAID5? If somebody could explain, why would the empty hard drive need to be re-synced for RAID5 if there’s no data? Thanks, YasSolvedConfigure NAS
Hi everyone, I´ve been using a shared hard disk in my local network and this is my very first time using a NAS and I cannot find the way to configure it. It´s been a couple of days since I´ve been setting it up but there is nothing else I can do. I have tried a couple of possible solutions but nothing worked so I am going to tell what I have done and see if you can help me. am using the hard drive I used for local network, and I just want to let you know that I only store movies on it so I don’t use it that much and it has got more or less a year since I bought it. So, I formatted the hard drive which is a Seagate ST2000DM001 and inserted in the chamber 1 of the NAS. After turning it up it did nothing, I wasn´t able to find it in the Ready Cloud web page, also pressed the backup button for 5 sec. and nothing. I also downloaded the RAIDar programme and still the same. As I remembered I set to my tech a static IP so I thought it would be because of that so I set the NAS with the 192.168.1.10 to the eth0 and 192.168.1.11 to the eth1. I do have the NAS connected the router my internet provider gave as I also have a switch and thought this could cause some issues. I can ping the ip from my PC sending 4 packages and receiving them too, I have also tried looking up they IP through the browser and nothing. So, I thought it would be a problem with the hard disk so I decided to formatted using this manual selection Factory default and leave it "think” for 30 min; useless.Right now, it has the power button blue and the rest are off. I´m also going to post some photos as they may be useful. Any help is welcome and thanks in advanced.adding hard drie
ReadyNAS 4312x (not in the "Model Recommended" above) I have Six 10TB Hard drives, X-RAID setup I am trying to add a 10TB (HGST model HUH721010ALE600) hard drive, the log shows it adds the drive...then about 5 minutes later it removes the drive. Did I just get a bad hard drive? (as I have never expanded this and it should be "easy")Solved1.4KViews0likes5Commentspassword recovery fails
Hello all, I cannot log in to my ReadyNAS, and after putting the correct recovery details (email and recovery answer) - it says: Recover Password Failed. I haven't been receiving emails from the NAS for months, and right now my internet is also down (using a hotspot to write this post). This was annoying before, but now the situation is a bit urgent... The only thing I can think of is that it's possible that the router address may have changed so the NAS cannot get to the internet. Does this sound like a possibility to you guys? As the physical reset button wasn't configured originally, that reset option isn't available to me when I go to the password recovery page. So I don't want to press that button at the back in case I lose data. Is there a way to recover the password based on these limitations? Many thanks, AaronSolved7.7KViews0likes3Comments1GbE speeds over 10GbE connections? MacOS
I was wondering if anyone is having this same expereince. I have a new 626x, all drives filled, x-raid, connected to a Netgear XS708E 10GbE router, and I'm getting very slow speeds over 10GbE. Not even 90MBs. I was getting better speeds though my Pioneer Pro. My mac is connected to the router though a Promise Technolgy Sanlink2 by thunderbolt. I know I have to tinker with the settigs on each device to get the best performance, but it shouldn't be this slow, should it? Any advice would be appreciated.Solved6.4KViews0likes13CommentsNetgear NAS 102 "offline"
I have been running my ReadyNAS 102 for nearly 3 years with no issues. Recently I can no longer access the NAS remotly using readycloud log in. The drive always shows off line. Also, with my Windows 10 laptops I can see the drive and drive folders, however when I click on them they ask for log in credentials. Ive tried adding a windows credential with the log in and password for the NAS, but that did not work. Ive also tried rebooting my modem, the drive, updated firmware, etc. Any suggestions?1.9KViews0likes1CommentRN626X Incompatible with Drives built under RN516?
RN626X Incompatible with Drives built under RN516? Swapped my RN516 drives to my RN626X (same firmware level, 6.6.1). Volume immediately marked unavailable on boot. PRIORITY support tech just openly voiced that it wasn't possible. So... No one can ever just swap drives to any of the new units!? You're supposed to build a new volume and copy the data over?ReadyCLOUD Services offline
