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.

The tech support had a look on my NAS (RN102) but they couldn't find what causing the issue.
I have confirmed the issue went into 6.10.5 stable.
It seems to be because of apps. If I manage to get the web interface working temporarly, the apps menu is blank, and you can only view installed apps.
So somehow, Netgear have broke the app connection, and this causes the web interface to reset.
I have four RN102 NAS Units doing the same. On logging into the unit I get the normal screen that after a few seconds goes into a logging into the admin page. Once that clears and logs in again a few seconds and back into the log in screen.
Unfortunatley I departed from my normal procedure of only updating firmware on one unit and ony on the others once the first unit is operating sucessfully. In this case all four were updated at the same time.
