First impressions of RN626X and then some
I finally made the jump from my old Ultra 4 Plus to the new RN626X and so far it's a very nice leap forward. I did have some challenges getting started which probably could have been avoided if I re...

- I'm unable to find a logout button from the Admin page. Does one exist or is it simply not needed?
Netgear says "not needed".

On a side note, I was able to transcode three 1080P MKV movies at the same time without any issues. I suspect the 626 can do more but I don't have enough devices to test that theory. All I can say is my Ultra 4 Plus could not transcode 1080P without buffering.
It'd be great if you can try some 4K transcoding (HEVC and AVC 4K trailers are pretty easy to find). I tested the 526 with samples from http://4ksamples.com/
As I noted in my streaming post on the 526X, it can't handle 4K transcoding. Like the 626X, it easily keeps up with gigabit connections.
So there's power Icon on the right top of the Admin page? Right next to the Question mark for Shutdown or Restart? That seems strange to me. How about you want to power down your NAS to do something like Move it? Or you upgrade some started or have a issue with some software and want to reboot the NAS? You mean you have to now get up, do to teh NAS and manually push a button? That seems silly to me. I don't get the not needed bit at all.

Is this aimed at my comment? If so, perhaps you mis-read it. That comment was about the need for a log-out function on the ui, not about power controls.
You can of course power down/restart the 526X and 626X ReadyNAS from the web-ui, and you can set a power schedule - just like the other OS-6 ReadyNAS. You can also shut it down from the button on the NAS (and probably the insight app, though I haven't run that lately),

It simply makes sense and probably should have been there from the beginning. I just hope Netgear is sincerely listening and considering the opinions of the forum and that our efforts are not in vain.
