Netgear NV+ v2 frozen
Further to my issue of last year (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/ReadyNas-NV-v2-stuck-on-boot-menu-RND4000-200AJS/td-p/1077463) my ReadyNAS has decided to freeze again. This time, after a cold shutdown (wife accidentally pulled out the cable), the NAS will not restart and gets stuck at the Boot Menu. Hitting Backup just scrolls to Normal, but nothing else happens. I have tried the same tricks as last time. - Removed all drives, inserted unformatted scratch disk, rebooted. Nothing. - Factory Reset option is not available. - Holding down reset button does nothing. - I cannot see the NAS in Raidar even if I connect a network cable directly into it. I am about to throw it in the bin. So tired of how touchy it is. Is there another way to factory reset the chassis? I know the data on my storage drives is ok. I have been using it fine until the accidental power plug incident. Any assistance would be appreciated!EX6200 wifi extender is frozen. won't reset - frozen with the numbers 1-5 lit up.
In tears here with this thing. I've hardly used this machine: it's been sat safely on a shelf for a year. I managed to get it working a few weeks ago after hours of faffing, only to turn it off at the wall (I don't want things left on in my room at night, so I can't see how this should be a problem) and for it to not work anymore. I made no changes to my BT network on the BT hub5 during that time--didn't even turn it off. It never worked as it says in the book/ the 5ghz light only lit now and then, even when I was connecting to it. This happened on two machines as I returned the first, so i assumed it was my fault and never got round to conatcing support or getting my money back in warranty as I was away. Now it won't reset using the pinhole button. I've turned it on and off, unplugged it for 10 minutes, plugged it into the Mac and the wifi router following vcarious directions on here. Its frozn with the numbers 1-5 lit up. Nothing else happens. These are on even without an ethernet cable in a port. I'm at my wits end here. i spemt £100 on this thing and its never worked properly. I cant reset it using the online method as the router wont even light up or connect. help! :-(
