Firmware 6.10.5 web interface broken in final release
My RN10200 had a 2tb drive die - so I replaced with two 4TB Seagate Iron Wolf NAS drives. There was a notice that a new version of the firmware was available 6.10.5 so I figured I should update this....
I was eventually able to get Firefox on my laptop to get on the the NAS web interface after doing a lot of playing around clearing caches/histories, etc. So I chose the firmware update feature in the interface to go back to the 6.10.3 version. After a reboot this seem to allow access to the NAS interface from everywhere again. So I'm not sure what the advantages might be of 6.10.5 - but the problems with the web interface seem to negate any improvements that might be in the latest version. So I'd be wary of this available update and treat the latest version as being still in beta.
The 6.10.3 inteface does keep coming up and saying that a later release (6.10.4) is available and do I want to install that. But after my experience with 6.10.5 I think I'll keep replying to ignore the optional update and stick with 6.10.3 that has been stable for a long while.
Regards,
Chuck.

I am not seeing this on my RN102. Firmware 6.10.5 installed as usual, and there are no problems with browser access in Chrome. It'd be good if we could figure out why some folks are seeing this, but not all.
Are you running any apps on the NAS?
Also, is there internet security software running on the PC (Kaspersky, Avast, etc).

Yes. I'm running PLEX Media Server and SMB Plus. Also run Eset Nod32 antivirus on the PC. I'm tempted to try 6.10.5 on my RN424 at work to see if this is related to x86 vs. ARM as I've not seen that mentioned anywhere. But that will have to wait until the weekend.
