Anyone got 6.2 on their legacy RN yet?

Corporate isn't going to use OS 6 because "there's a way" Even most of the consumer market is going to stay away. I have sold quite a few of the older units and in virtually every case I had to uninstall OS 6 and install OS 4 per their request... they wouldn't purchase it other wise. Personally, I have zero issue with them dropping the older hardware and I'm sure there is some logic behind it. Interface wise OS 6 is light years ahead however at times it's too cute for its own good. At times I end up clicking my mouse over an image and hoping an option or two will pop up!

There are two folds to this. For myself, it is a PITA to have to jump through hoops to get things running but at the end of the day, I purchased my 4200 at an extremely good price so the little effort to bring it up to speed is ok. But when I spec out new product for my work, I look for one that works just out of the box. Last run, we installed RN dou v2 at 60 sites. We're getting to replace them all and no one said anything about NG but instead they're looking at Synology and QNAP. I haven't used a QNAP before but I'm pushing for Synology because a simple thing as joining the NAS to the domain requires a "Business Class" RN while any Synology can be joined to a domain. That's already a winning factor especially when we refresh hardware everything 3-4 years. We're actually replacing the NG early, at only 2.5 years because of the failure rates on these things. Nothing major but every few weeks, we find ourselves fixing something at least one of the RN.
