The new features are really fantastic, the idea of having a private cloud on my ReadyNas and the idea of being able to access my data over the internet is wonderful.
However, I agree, that probably Netgear was in a hurry to release the new firmware, and it didn't give it enough time to do a thorough testing.
After a lot of trial and error I managed to get the Genie working but the applications is very limited so it is of no real use, and it is not by any means stable.
My major problem is in ReadyDrop. After installing it and trying to get my data on the cloud, I found a huge number of bugs, that deeply affect the integrity of my data. Sometimes, the readydrop wouldn't simply sync the data. Sometimes, it suddenly erases all the data on the PC. If you try to put a huge amount of data in the readydrop folder, it will certainly stop syncing after a while and it will not continue syncing afterwords. I am sure a good tester could have come out with all those bugs if real testing outside the perfect lab environment was done.
I got in contact with the support after just one hour of playing with the product and after some email troubleshooting they informed me they could reproduce the bugs and that it will be fixed in the next release.
I hope this release comes out very soon as the product is marvelous, but I don't think anyone can afford bugs that can affect the integrity of his data.
