RN516 and OS 6 POS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have spent days troubleshooting this whacked out POS RN516 and OS 6 I'm about to explode. Anyone on the fence thinking about purchasing a ReadyNAS w/ OS 6 save yourself the time, frustration, and po...
No SMART errors. The main issues that I have are the following:
1. Apps, just a mess. genie+marketplace continues to cause issues. I have to leave disabled to see what is installed and what is available. I know how to address the issue given to me by a L3 tech from NTGR that requires SSHing into the box and performing a set of commands. the L3 also admitted that NTGR is aware of the issues associate with "Apps" and hope to have addressed with 6.1. Some apps seem to have a mind of their own, starting and stopping with no logical reason, just bizarre.
2. Whenever I perform a large data migration or access a large file, the RN516 will become lethargic and I have to perform a reboot which never works from either frontview and from SSH, I have to power-cycle.
I am somewhat technical and thank god because I can't imagine being non-technical and owning a RN with OS 6, NTGR should of done their due diligence and worked out all the issues before releasing to the public. Currently I have a scheuled RSync job setup between my RN516 and RN Pro, my plan was to sell the RN Pro but at this point I have no confidence in the RN516 and OS6. My RNPro has been rock solid for years and expected the RN516 to surpass the RNPro from both stability and features.
