What is the latest BIOS for 628X?
Knowing Netgear has discontinued ReadyNAS products, I would like to make sure mine is at least up to the current version before it becomes impossible to update.
Here is mine:
--------------------------------
/sys/class/dmi/id/bios_date
::::::::::::::
01/25/2017
::::::::::::::
/sys/class/dmi/id/bios_version
::::::::::::::
RN528v30
---------------------------------
It says here it RN528. Curious if 628x shares the same BIOS with 528.
I am planning to get a riser so I can connect a video card. I would like to see what is in there. Has anyone done it? Is it completely locked? I have seen people find RN516 is basically locked, not much to fiddle with.
Thanks MODs/Admins

Since Netgear has never made updates available, it's basically already impossible to update.
