Had the same problem - Do you have SSH access? If so, your unit isn't "technically" a brick. You should downgrade right away to 6.10.4. (I did that and the problem went away). Contrary to other posts - it has NOTHING to do with the browser version you're using to access the unit - it happens on all browsers - it's a flaw in frontview.
Here are the instructions for the ARM unit (RN102):NB: (you MUST be ssh'ed in as 'root'):
cd /root wget http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNASOS-6.10.4-arm.zip unzip ReadyNASOS-6.10.4-arm.zip echo /root/ReadyNASOS-6.10.4-arm.img > /etc/.flash_update reboot
There is a hotfix that needs to be applied to that release and it will automatically be applied if your NAS settings permit hotfixes to be automatically applied... otherwise - do as you see fit.
Just ignore any further updates to 6.10.5 until they get their act together.

OMG it worked :-)
Managed to enable SSH using android app called NAS utilities, then followed the SSH instructions here. Downloaded and installed 6.10.4.
THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS :-)

THANK YOU ALL!
The hint with installing the NAS Utilities by Doyle on Android, then go to Services, enable SSH (don't forget to save!) enabled access to my ReadyNAS 102 via SSH.
I then signed in using putty with username root and the password of the admin user.
Then I followed the procedure mentioned above to download, unzip and copy the 6.10.4 firmware.
After typing reboot the NAS came online with 10.6.4Hotfix1 and the signon loop is gone!!!
