14 TopicsOrbi and WEP
I’ve been under the assumption that using WPS encryption is insecure, and the best encryption is to use WPA2 (hopefully with the Krack exploit patched). I noticed that it seems the Orbi system does use WPS through pushing the sync button on the router and/or satellite(s). Previous routers I’ve owned had the ability to completely turn off WEP. With that in mind, could someone comment on how secure using WEP (through the sync button) is when using an Orbi System? Also, does anyone think it may be beneficial if down the road Netgear added the ability for an end user to choose if they want WEP enabled or disabled on each individual device through a future firmware update (of course, after Netgear fixes the bugs that have been causing a lot of people to experience seemingly random wireless internet disconnections)?
Sync to USB drive instead of clear and full backup
Is there a way to sync a folder on the ReadyNAS to an USB drive instead of having it cleared and fully backuped? I have a large share on the NAS and a 2 TB USB drive attached. On this share new files will often be created and old deleted and this will quickly fill the USB drive when using incremental backups. Clearing the whole backup and then copying over 1 TB of files which were already there doesn't seem like a great idea. I've found a workaroud here: How to sync NAS and USB drive , but maybe there is a cleaner way of doing it in the current firmware?Solved
Dropbox Sync Won't Update
I recently upgraded my ReadyNAS to OS 6.8.0 and use a Mac to connect to the ReadyNAS. I have set up the Dropbox Sync on my ReadyNAS 526X. I have a single folder on Dropbox syncing to the corresponding folder on the ReadyNAS. I have it set up to only download cloud changes to the ReadyNAS. It works fine for the initial sync and everything in my selected Dropbox folder appears in the corresponding filder on my ReadyNAS. However, after the first sync, no further updates to sync down to the ReadyNAS. I have added new documents to the Dropbox folder and reorganized some files into new folders and none of those changes appear on the ReadyNAS. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there something I have done wrong in the setup process? Any assistance would be appreciated. Regards, David5.5KViews0likes8CommentsSync Home Folder in ReadyCloud Desktop App
I have a ReadyNAS 202 running OS 6.5.1 and am using the ReadyCloud Desktop Client version 1.3 for OS X (Mac). I have created a folder in my private Home Directory that I would like to sync to my Mac but when I look at the Desktop Client, I do not see the Home folder and obvisously, not the subfolders in the Home folder. If I log in to ReadyCloud via the Web I see the Home folder and the subfolders in it. The ID I am using is the Administrator ID I created when I set up the ReadyNAS. I'm thinking there has to be a way to see the Home Folder in the ReadyNAS Client. Am I missing something? Thanks, David5.1KViews0likes13CommentsRN10222D Vertical Expansion - First Time
I'm expanding from 2TB to 4TB on my RN102. I purchased compatible drives (Hitachi Deskstar NAS HDN724040ALE640). The system is running X-Raid Raid 1. I am not clear on how to know if the system is syncing - other than looking at the logs. When I do look at the logs, there are only two entries related to this event - - Volume data health changed from Redundant to Degraded. - Disk Model:TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 Serial:64UTP72GS was removed from Channel 1 of the head unit The volumes settings shows only one drive present (the one I did not remove). The new disk seems to be spinning based on the sound it's making (long buzz, click, short buzz). The power light is blinking in two-blink intervals and the led for the drive I replaced is blinking. Can someone tell me if I'm doing something incorrect or if there's another way, other than the software, to determine if the drives are syncing?Solved
ReadyNas 6.6.0 - Amazon Cloud Drive first sync launch
Hi, I've been using Amazon Cloud Drive sync on my ReadyNas 6.6.0 for a couple of weeks, and it worked like a charm. 4 days ago, I've unfortunately switched off the service (under Cloud tab), and immediatly switched it on. Thus, the amazon sync service has stopped and restarted. Since then, it says he's looking for changes... I have about 4 TB of data (~5000 files), and my internet connexion is 1GB (fiber). How long it's supposed to take (it's running for +4 days) ? Is there a way to have more details on the ongoing sync process in order to know if it's working or not ? The log file is wery minimalistic (1 line saying he's looking for changes)... Initially it took 2-3 days to copy all the data to Amazon cloud... Many thanks in advance. CarlosSolved
Can ReadyNAS NV+ Sync with Amazon Cloud Drive?
I have a tried and true ReadyNAS NV+ with latest firmware (4.1.15). Any way I can sync shares with my Amazon Drive with this unit? Model: ReadyNAS NV+ [X-RAID] Serial: 23J30375002A4 Firmware: RAIDiator 4.1.15 [1.00a043] Memory: 256 MB [2.5-3-3-7]Solved4.4KViews0likes2Commentsremove all traces of readycloud desktop app
I like many others am having problems syncing using the ReadyCloud desktop app. I would like to uninstall the app and remove all traces, including saved user settings, from my PC in order to try a truly fresh install. When I reinstal it currently, it automatically logs me in and loads my ReadyNAS. I do not want it to do this. I want it to be like it's never been on my computer before. I've deleted all the folders in my windows user folder and i've deleted all folders and files from programs(x86) folder. This has not worked. Is there a "removal tool" for the app like there is for other programs for complete removal? Please help if you can. After hours and hours of trying all the other sync "solutions" in all the other posts, I'd like to try this one and hope it works.3.8KViews0likes3CommentsAmazon - Snapshots or full data?
Hi All, I recently turned on Amazon Cloud on my RN104 running 6.6.1. So far everything seems to be working corrently, though I aside from a cursory glance at the folder structure on Amazon I have no idea how much data has moved. I expect the total for the selected shares to be over 700GB, but amazon is not showing any size yet. Maybe once the transfer is done it will show? Anyway, I'm now concerned about Amazon being a two-way sync. Not so much that I would delete something on Amazon, but what if something breaks at amaazon and my files get deleted? or if amazon is hacked and my files get deleted? My understanding that in this siutation the sync would cause my local files on NAS to also get deleted. (please correct me if I'm wrong) Which brings to my real question. I admittedly do not fully understand snapshots. But am now wondering if instead of replicating the actual data to amazon, should I just be replicating the snapshots instead? Or both? I would sleep easier if netgear just made an option to set the amazon sync as one-way or two-way my choice.3.6KViews0likes6Comments
