I have tried something familiar. My ReadyNAS 204 would not find any updated firmware even though a newer firmware was released. I rebooted the device and everything worked ok.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for your replies howvever the isssue is the error message " Antivirus scanner definition file update failed due to download failure" NOT the ability to download a particular Firmware update!
The unit is also cold booted very morning.
Newer Firmware updates do NOT mention this issue in their notes and/or fixes.
I would be grateful for any sugestions, solutions or workarounds to resolve this "Antivirus scanner definition file update failed due to download failure" issue?
Regards,
