Readynas 102 unit ReadyCloud once again not working. FW 6.5.1 SW: 1.13
First off this is not the first time this has happened. Back when I had support on this unit last year I had to backup my data and do a complete whipe and reset (hour of time as you know) not once, not twice, but three times. The reason? Level 3 tech support has told me "we just arent sure but a reset should clear it right up" .... wow. Device: Readynas 102 2-bay with 1TB Raid 1 config Readycloud: FAIL (desktop, app, web) Admin page via LAN: PASS Apps installed: none 100% factory Ok so for the last year or so, it has been working pretty solid. Every day I get to work and it works I am just impressed that I got another 24 hours out of this thing. That said, I did the latest firmware update and ever since it has had issues connecting. I rebooted (power) to the unit and now once again the desktop software shows it as offline. I logged in and noticed the FW update reset the network from static to DHCP. Well the ports on my router are set for that IP so I set it all back the way it was thinking that was the issue. Again reboobted the unit and it got the IP just as before, but now inside the Readynas Admin page the "cloud" tab says that ready cloud status is "Offline (RED X) Services Offiline" you click the little question mark and I just get a loading logo no information displayed. I was able to get into the device last week via the readycloud web ui, but obviously with it now offline that wont work. I can get into the admin settings page though of course. I have a pretty decent history working in all thing IT (work for LG here in South Korea) and so things like a router FW update were first to come to mind. I made sure I have the newest firmware there too ASUS AC router (AC66U) VPN to the router, and all other things like cctv and media sharing devices are working normally. Even on the LAN the readynas will not connect. I have turned off the service and turned back on, power down for 24 hours, remove the account reboot and login, all are to no resolve. Is my only option to backup everything again and do a complete whipe of the system? At this point the device is nearing 2 years old and I have never ever had so many issues with a NAS in my life. So many other options out there that co-workers are friends use and they all just laugh when I told them I got Netgear... I use to hold Netgear to very high standards but apparently that is slipping. 90 days of customer service all that spent on resets and well over 14 hours of my time trying to keep this thing running. Just frustrated at this point. I do not map drives out of fear of ransomewarre taking down everything. Hence I like the desktop app. I did use FTP on my phone, but I have not used that in a long time as I have OneDrive backup from my phone and then the the Readycloud app backup my OneDrive to the ReadyNAS102 (TheDonBot). I did try and set up FTP again but I can not get it to work. I can VPN to my router, but the ReadyNas does not seem to be available. I could just have a setting wrong though. I do not really want to go back and setup FTP again, I just want the desktop software to work. Really appreciate any idea or feedback. If I should just toss this thing in the recycle and buy something else please let me know, money is not really the issue here I just need to stop walking into meetings with things on a NAS that no longer works and then in a mad scramble to VPN to home, map drives, etc just to get the random stuff requested from guys at work.
Unresponsive/Slow NAS performance post Anti-Virus + upgrade
Hello all Since upgrading to firmware V6.4.1 and upgrading Ant-virus + to version 2.0.3 I have been suffering extraordinary slow/unresponsive performance from my Ready NAS 102. For example: There have been times when it would not allow me to login to the web GUI. Windows Vista, 7 and 10 explorer progress bars took minutes to load directory structures. I noticed an improvement after rebooting the NAS but this was short lived less than 15 minutes. The 4TB NAS drives are only about 25% full operating in a home environment so has a light duty cycle. The Web GUI says the drives are healthy and are operating in the ~38 degree Celsius. The fan is running about ~800 rpm. No virus have ever been found on these drives. Ani-Virus + is the only application that I run on the NAS other than the default ones. I turned off AFS (Apple File System) as not required. I have cleaned out the dust accumulation from 2 years use but the CPU temperature remained in the mid-high 60 degree Celsius range. I felt this is a little higher than it should be. On a hunch I decided to turn off the Anti-Virus + process. A partly loaded file suddenly and dramatically completed loading and equally importantly the CPU temperature dropped to mid-50s degree Celsius within a few minutes. I then performed some file loading tests using an I5 Lenovo T430 laptop. Test file was an XLS of 1.8GB. Application was pre-loaded. Anti-Virus off 7 seconds CPU temp ~55 degrees C Anti-Virus on 3:52 CPU temp rose to ~66 degrees Celsius during the load. I do not any pre-upgrade load time figures for comparison but load times where acceptable. The conclusion is that there is something seriously wrong with the latest version of Anti-Virus + or the priority assigned to the application. I note that other users are experiencing similar response problems but the little I have read have not done much in the way of quantitative measurements. I am reluctant to turn off Anti-Virus + but see little alternative. How can I roll back the Anti-Virus + application and/or when is a fix coming?

Hallo zusammen, mein ReadyNas 102 lässt sich nicht von 6.2.5 auf die aktuellen Version updaten. Ich kann das Update ganz normal über das Admin - Panel starten. Das Update wird dann wohl auch herunter geladen. Nachdem es herunter geladen wurde, erscheint die Meldung, dass das Update nach dem Neustart installiert wird. Trotz mehrerer Neustarts habe ich aber immer noch die alte Firmware drauf.... Hab das Ganze jetzt schon mehrfach probiert - auch mit mehreren Tagen Wartezeit zwischen den einzelnen Updateversuchen... Leider funktioniert es nicht. Weiss hier jemand Rat? Danke schonmal im Voraus! Toby
