6.6.1 did not fix UPS detection problem
Still needed to unplug and re-plug USB cable to UPS after a restart for UPS to be detected. Wed Jan 18 2017 16:51:20 System: New USB UPS detected. Manufacturer: APC, Model: Back-UPS ES 550G, Seri...
I had some difficuties with a shared UPS when I upgraded to 6.6.0. I ended up unsharing on the master, deleting the connection on the slaves, and then re-creating all of them. I'm not sure if only one part of that might have done the job. It's been fine since, but I've not yet upgraded to 6.6.1 on those systems.
BTW, your problem is different enough from the original that you would have been better served to start a new thread.
You may be right.
Spotted the problem - the 312 has decided to call the UPS attached UPS1. This is not user adjustable through the front end.
When I change UPS name (as per the instructions in the knowledgebase) from UPS to UPS1 on the Pro6 and the Ultra6 it works fine.
Has the naming convention changed in 6.6.1??

Sorry, what I meant to say was the instructions in the knowledgebase (http://kb.netgear.com/23121/How-do-I-add-a-UPS-to-my-ReadyNAS-OS-6-storage-system) insist the name has to be 'UPS' whereas it appears the name has to be whatever the local NAS calls it - in this case 'UPS1' - and I am not sure if this is by design now (in which case the KB needs updating) or is a bug.

My NAS all use UPS, not of them name it UPS1.
I suspect there is a bug here - the NAS probably shouldn't have labeled yours UPS1 either.
I'm clearly very special then!!
At some point, did you move the UPS from one USB connection to another? Maybe it somehow thinks (or thought at one point) you have two.
Good point. I may well have done when troubleshooting the UPS issue in 6.6.0, although I only have the one so by definition only one was plugged in at any time.
