Technical Help / Netgear NAS
« on: Sunday 31 December 23 11:46 GMT (UK) »
This is pretty obscure and I suspect only one of the "techie" people may be able to offer a clue:
I've run a Netgear NAS for may years without any problems. Earlier this year, Netgear announced they were withdrawing ReadyCloud (their remote access utility) but access to the NAS as a plug and play device on a local network would continue. This was a bit annoying as I liked to be able to access the NAS when away - but Hey Ho!
ReadyCloud was duly retired and at the same time I lost access to the device as a plug and play device. This has been very annoying as I had several folders mapped as virtual drives. I can now only use the NAS by accessing it via my browser using it's IP address on my network which is less than ideal. If I look at my network using File Explorer I can see the NAS but am unable to access it.
I'd really like to get it's full functionality back, so any pointers would be gratefully received.
