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.

Chuck.
I initially had this same issue on my RN316 after installing the stable version of 6.10.5 (from the previous stable 6.10.4). But I also had files uploading through SyncThing, and a large SMB transfer to the NAS going when I was trying to access the webpage. Hoping that it was a combination of those sustained transfers along with any "apt" updates the system was still doing after the firmware update, I just let it sit for a while. Got up today, and the webpage comes up just fine. Oh, I've only tried in Chrome, didn't try other browsers when it wasn't working for me, or now that it is working. Also, the SyncThing and SMB transfers are still going.
