Changing the admin password causes ReadyNAS admin page to constantly reload
I attempted to change my admin password today. It caused the Admin Page to go into a constant reload loop. After changing the admin password I am immediately logged out. I assume this is normal. ...
After doing an OS Re-install you need to make sure the system has installed the hot-fix before changing the admin password. If your NAS isn't connected to the internet you may want to install the hot-fix manually: https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Beta/Beta-firmware-broke-web-interface-6-10-5-T11-Beta-1/m-p/2126885#M10947
For the RN104 you need the ARM one.
Thank you!
The beta hotfix seems to have solved this. Everything appears functional. It is asking me for the login credentials twice when I open the admin page but then becomes stable. It still asks for credentials again every so often but this is minor. Everything else seems to work.
For the RN104 the hotfix is not in stable or beta for automatic updates. Downloading it directly worked fine.
The time-out of the admin login was added several OS updates ago. It's a new "feature" (to me, an annoyance) that cannot be disabled. Unfortunately, it will also sometimes jump to the Password Recovery page instead of staying where it belongs, so you have to explicity go back to /admin.
