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...
This is one of the problems caused when everyone opens up a new topic instead of first looking to see if one exists for an issue. The answer(s) get spread all over.
It was not necessary that Netgear release a full OS update to fix this problem. They released a hotfix, which would have been installed automatically in your NAS had you not taken steps to prevent that.
If you update back to 6.10.5 and don't want to connect the NAS such that it has Internet access to download the hotfix, see this thread:Admin-page-keeps-loading-in-a-loop-netgear-nas-104-after-update .

Or you could see the post by kohdee to download the hot-fix and how to upload it to a system that is running 6.10.5: https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Beta/Beta-firmware-broke-web-interface-6-10-5-T11-Beta-1/m-p/2126885#M10947
Does 6.10.5 offer any significant improvement over 6.10.4? What are the "security issues" that 6.10.5 addresses? The link to firmware vulnerabilities in the firmware release notes takes you to a page that appears to list vulnerabilities about every Netgear product other than the ReadyNAS line.
At this point I see no "burning need" to move from 6.10.4 to a proven buggy release.
