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 normally have my setting to "Stable".
Which means that it's not directly linked to that setting (since I also use it, and haven't experienced the problem).
I came to the same Problem when updating my RN102 to 6.10.5 today. Unfortunatly I didn't read this conversation before.
Chaning |SETTINGS |CHECK FOR UPDATES from Stable to Long-Term and back interupts the loop and I'm able to edit the admin page - up to the next log in.
It helps for the moment, but a sustainable solution to the problem by Netgear would be desirable.

Were you able to re-install firmware 6.10.4 to at least get back to a stable configuration?
Additional info, possibly of some use in debugging:
Using Firefox on a Windows 7 machine which is on the same LAN as RN102,
go to ReadyCLOUD and click on the tiny "Admin Page" near the upper left of page.
My Firefox is configured to open links in new tab and this opens up the RN102 web interface
that behaves normally EXCEPT if left inactive long enough to time out normally
where it begins the "Connecting to the ReadyNAS Admin Page" loop again.
My 2 cents, FWIW.
- Yes, thanks for asking. I will simple stay with 6.10.4 for now.
