Unable to sign in to ReadyCLOUD
I have not used ReadyCLOUD in quite some months. I tried it just now (from Starbucks) and on the page with the window labeled "Sign in with MyNETGEAR Account" I enter my email address and Password, but it just redisplays the same window with Email and Password changed to the color red. I don't know what that means, bvut I can't seem to get beyond it. I know the password is correct because I was given the option of changing my password. It send me an email with a link so I changed it. But I can't log in. Any thoughts on how to fix the problem would be appreciated.8.1KViews0likes41Comments
ReadyNAS 104 no accessible after to upgrade 6.9.1 and update PLEX
Hi all, The first thing is to say thank you very much in advance for your help. I have a RN104 since Nov.2015 with 4x6TB in RAID 5 (almost full) with both LAN connected with 2 IP. I upgraded the software to 6.9.1 at the begining of December and it was working ok but at the end of Dec I upgraded the APP Plex and it causes a problem in my RN. It is not accesible from any computer (Windows/Windows Explorer or Mac/Finder) it is visible but no accesible to any folder and also other folders are new in the root (admin, data and home) Plex is not detecting the Ready NAS Media Server and it is not possible to see nothing in Plex. NAS is accesible in the Admin page and all disk are working ok and also accessible in RAIDar 6.3.0 Ping from Mac with positive feedback. No working in ReadyCloud - Message is NAS doesn't have connection. What I have tried is: -first to reinstall Plex before to be aware the NAS is not accesible (many times but not possible to install). - I decided to reinstall Firmware from Boot Menu - I reinstall 6.9.1 from admin page - I dowgraded to 6.9.0 from admin page - I upgraded to 6.9.1 from admin page ... but nothing worked I really appreciate your help on this because a lot of info in my NAS I would like to preserve ... I am sending also the logs to the email. PS. Sorry about my English (I am from Spain)...4.9KViews0likes22CommentsOS 6.9.0 Release Notes
I've been reluctant to upgrade from 6.8.1 to 6.9.x (basically the fear of the unknown). But I would like to read the 6.9.0 Release Notes. I can only find the ones for 6.9.1. My assumption is that the 6.9.0 Release Notes have more major information. I have problems on an all-Mac network that include very slow directory display times and seemingly ramdom grayed out file names ("This file is in use or busy") when trying to delete files. Perhaps Release 6.9.x will help with these issues. What is the link for 6.9.0 Release Notes? Thank you.Solved1.1KViews0likes2Comments
Link Aggregation with macOS
Hi, I've got two ethernet ports on my Mac mini and have bonded them together with the virtual interface. I've then plugged them both into my GS116Ev2. If I have LAG turned off the Ethernet bond from macOS connects just fine - if I turn LAG on, it disconnects and reports that my switch doesn't support link aggregation. What's going on here? Why are they working with LAG turned off, but not on? Are they even working with an aggregated connection with LAG turned off (is the Mac doing it instead?) should they work with it on?SolvedFVS336Gv3 PPTP VPN for macOS Sierra
Hi Netgear community, One of our sites has a NETGEAR ProSafe™ Gigabit Dual WAN SSL VPN Firewall FVS336Gv3 which has PPTP Server enabled and setup with working users for Windows OS, there is 1 user that uses MAC OS. Since that 1 user upgraded their macOS to Sierra the option for PPTP has been removed (Apple reports the reason is for security). I have tried enabling SSLVPN in the firewall but have struggled to get that working. As a fallback, we are looking at 3rd party clients that can create the VPN using PPTP again. I've looked at some suggested clients (FlowVPN, VPN Tracker, user is trying TunnelBlick) but not getting very far. Ideally, we want a freeware that can do PPTP (unless there is a free SSLVPN option). Any suggestions or if you have got around this issue with macOS Sierra. Many thanks in advance.6.6KViews0likes10CommentsTimeMachine Cant see the NAS
My Mac has been backing up just fine, until the 15th May and now it tried to back up, starts is very slow and the bombs out saying and an error occurred. It may be temporary if the problem persists use Disc Utility to repair your backup disc? (I did not do this because I don't know what a disc utility is or where to find it, on the NAS or on my Internet !) So I set up a new backup location, I can see it from time machine but it says and select it but it says there was a problem connecting to my NAS. I can connect to the admin page, and see it online, have turned my cloud back on from the issue in March for ReadyCloud ANY help and Ideas welcome?
Not able to connect to NAS-share on Mac OS 10.11.6
Hi, I have a really bizare issue and am really at loss ... In a small network, there's a mac mini, an iMac and a MacBook Pro, all running 10.11.6. The mini and the MacBookPro can connect to the "data" share with the user "pascal". With the iMac, I can connect to frontview, even connect to the share via http in a webbrowser with this user "pascal", but smb or afp do not work. I can connect to the IP-adres, which then shows me the share but connecting to the share always throws me an error that I cannot connect to the server ... The MacBook Pro are on the same switch and I even tried using the same cable, the results stay the same. Network settings are the same. Anyone any ideas where I need to go looking. I'm assuming Netgear will not be willing to help as this is clearly a mac related issue, but I was wondering if there would be anything visible on the NAS. TIA, Bart3.2KViews0likes8CommentsFile access confusion with afp and smb
My environment is all Mac. Years ago I read that afp was the best access method in an all-Mac environment and my ReadyNAS 516 was set up that way. I've since learned that it's preferable to use smb. So, I added smb as an access method. I generally use that. The problem is that I occasionally run into a file that can only be accessed via afp. When I use smb I get this message: "filename" can’t be opened right now because it’s being used by another task, such as moving or copying an item or emptying the Trash. Try again when the current task is complete. First of all, nothing is using these few files. What's confusing is that, other files in that same directory can be accessed fine. AND another Mac on the network accesses all of the files still using afp. This problem is on a new Mac using Sierra. I figure that this is a problem with the Mac and not the ReadyNAS because when I go into Terminal and run "ls -l filename" all the files in that directory show the same access rights. Are there any Mac experts here who may have an idea how I can fix this problem on this Mac? In the past I would have tried "Repair Permissions" but since El Capitan it's no longer available. Thanks for any ideas you might have.3.3KViews0likes3Comments
NV+ V2 5.3.12 Remote access 1.5.8 time out
Can somebody please help? I have had my ReadyNAS since 2012. I have been able to access shares locally on the network with my Macs. I have never been able to access shares with my iPhone IOS. I can log on, and see my NAS, but then it times out on "Connecting to device" I have tried all options including guest access and anonymous access on the shares. They are all AFP and SMB and FTP activated. I have trying with this for many months. I need to access my files remotely over the internet. If I cannot find a solution this will have to be trashed and I will have to get a Drobo or anything that works. Thank you in advance, PhilSolved
Multiple versions of RN 214 showing up in MAC Finder
Just got my new RN 214 setup. With a couple of small exceptions it's gone pretty well. My question is related to how the drive shows up in the MAC Finder. As you can see from the screenshot, the drive is showing up mulitiple ways. The first one is what I would expect to see, the name of the drive. The second is the ORIGINAL name of the drive before I changed it and rebotted the NAS, and then the new name is also show up as (AFP) and (SMB). What's the difference, why are all of these various shares showing up, and how do I get rid of the original name share?2KViews0likes1Comment
