Firmware Download Failed Readynas 526 Firmware 6.10.7

I have 2 Readynas 526X units.  They are identical, 6 - 6TB HD's running Raid 6.  In the log one unit is giving me an error saying the firmware download failed, the other one is not.  The version # of the update looks a bit strange, I'm concerned there is something going on here that shouldn't be.  I'll add a screenshot section of the log, if anyone has any ideas / advice I would like to hear them.

    Are both NAS running 6.10.7?

      Yes, and if I click check on updates both systems respond with my system is currently running the latest Firmware.  I was concerned that something has gotten installed on my system that was trying to download a virus/ransomeware etc...  This is only occurring on one of the 526's.

        Something isn't right, but it seems unlikely that ransomware would log anything.

         

        It looks like the RN526 is set to auto-update - maybe turn that off for now.  Then see if you get the sane error at 1 am tomorrow.
