Readynas RN 102 (10200) update to 6.10.5
i have a Readynas RN102 (10200) which has served me very well for the past 6 years, but yesterday i reluctantly took the option of upgrading from fimware 10.6.4 Hotfix 1 to 10.6.5. This update had th...
I have just run into this myself, solved the problem by downgrading to 6.10.4, and then confirmed that the problem is the new firmware release by upgrading a second time to 6.10.5.
I have also discovered that the problem does not happen if the system still has the default password - you can do an OS reload from the boot menu, which will reset the password and network settings, you can then login with the default password and the system does not kick you out, but as soon as you change the admin password - BAM - the problem resurfaces. Leave the default admin password, you will stay logged in and can go to the settings menu and downgrade to 6.10.4.
If this, as has been said, is a known issue with this release affecting multiple product models, then it is sufficiently serious that Netgear should suspend the distribution of the 6.10.5 upgrade.
Hi Fordem, your findings are exactly the same as what i experienced so i agree that there is now enough evidence for Netgear to suspend this update. One other setting I have now made is to the update settings and selected "Long Term Support" which actually recognises 6.10.4 Hotfix1 as the latest update and gives me a bit more confidence for the next LTS update. It also stops the annoying update message every time i log in to the admin menu.
