Enable HTTPS

HTTPS cannot be disabled. The local admin page requires HTTPS to be enabled.

Port 1

Cannot be modified. Port 1, the value 443, is reserved for your ReadyNAS system.

Port 2

Set to a value in the range 1024-65535. Check if you need to enable port forwarding of the

 

port you choose on the router. See the port forwarding instructions provided with your

 

router.

SSL Key Host

Configures the host name used for your ReadyNAS system to generate its SSL certificate

 

and then creates a new SSL certificate. NETGEAR recommends that you update this field

 

to match the current IP address of your ReadyNAS system and then generate a new SSL

 

certificate to avoid future certificate errors from your web browser. In this scenario, it is best

 

to have a fixed IP configuration for your ReadyNAS system so that the certificate remains

 

valid. Also, if the WAN IP address configuration is DHCP, NETGEAR recommends that

 

you use a Dynamic DNS service to access the ReadyNAS through a persistent fully qualified

 

domain name provided by a DDNS service provider rather than through an IP address.
