  1. Final word on this saga - Most Comical really, verging on the pathetic - Final response from Netgear Support after repeating same questions 3 times and supplying same answers 3 times !!!! NETGEAR Support Agent 2022-07-22 07:22:45 Hello Please make sure that your system and NAS should be in same network. Also, You are using a very old model of NAS and unfortunately we do not support this device anymore . We will suggest you to purchase new model from https://www.netgear.com/ to protect your data . Also, You can go to https://community.netgear.com to get your questions answered. Best Regards Nivedita Pandit ReadyNAS Technical Support NETGEAR ® Connect with Innovation ™
  2. Thanks for your response, seems like I got a nice box for the shelf, cant think of much else for it, not going to sell it on because it wouldn't be fair on the next owner and I doubt if Netgear are going to solve the problem from the answers I've got so far, Sella vie - such is life,
  3. Hiya, thanks for prompt reply, i was thinking it might be the case, I also asked Netgear support the same question and they came back " Not sure" - "You could try it !!" with all other issues thinking this is not the right gear for what I want to achieve. Looking at stripping the motherboard out of the Nas and connecting a mini pc with Unraid ? the most usefull part of the Nas is the quick change 4 drive bays - other than that not looking for a backup system just convenient storage - I have 9 drives split over 3 pc's networked and could do with reducing the space they take up. Thanks for your reply
  4. I am having problems with a Netgear Ready NAS NV+, it's IP/MAC address will not connect and Netgear cant find a solution, can I install Unraid via usb to re write the unit to use Unraid not Netgear RAIDar ? will change the unit's IP and MAC address ? Can I reset the IP and MAC address once installed ? I don't really want to use this unit as a Raid backup anyways, I want to use it's 4 drive bays and networked storage and ditch my older networked pc's, would this be possible ?
