ReadyNAS 102 / OS6.2.5
Dear Forum Members I have just purchased from Ebay (UK) a ReadyNAS 106 running firmware 6.0.8 but, as most of you can guess, it is no longer possible to upgrade the firmware online, the only down...
A simple Google of ReadyNAS 6.2.5 takes you here: ReadyNAS-OS-Version-6-2-5-RN102-RN104-Only
While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
ReadyNAS Network Storage: Official NETGEAR Community
You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.
I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
Check for various troubleshooting tips.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
Hi Micheal
You know, whenever I make a post after a long lay-off I always have problems putting
my post in the right place (I think the forum software is unforgiving). So I will take this opportunity to thank you for having my post re-posted in the correct place.
Also, I have already searched Netgear Support and the ReadyNAS community, inwhich I found something written by a poster in German. Hence, my request for someone to send me a direct link to ReadyNAS firmware v6.2.5 (arm) because all I can find in Support are downloads for v6.10.8 and v6.10.9, which I cannot currently be used for my RN102.
Thanks anyway

Cheers Sandshark
As you pointed out, I had to go out into Google, rather than search Netgear Support directly, and so I found OS 6.2.5, unzipped and directly installed it. I could keep downloading and updating the incremental updates, until I reach OS 6.10.9, but I don't see any benefits in going any further.
And so I'm OK for now.
Once again, cheers.

There have been lot of bug fixes and security updates since 6.2.5 was released back in 2015. So I do suggest that you move up to current firmware, which is 6.10.9.
Only two steps are needed, you can skip all the others:.
