Exchanging RN104 to Ultra 4 a good idea?
Dear All,
I have recently purchased a RN104 and I have to admit that my pre purchase research was not up to the task therefore I have found out that the RN104 does not supports most of the adds-on for example, Plex server, the Readynas surveillance, couch potatoes to name a few.
I am thinking of returning this RN104 and get the Ultra 4 instead. What do you think?

- I would suggest the 314 over the Ultra 4 at this point. The Ultra 4 has been discontinued.
- going to 314 would costs me approx $250 where as ultra 4 is cheaper compare to 104. Will netgear provide support to ultra 4 even though it's a discontinued products?
- The Ultra 4 will get the upcoming 4.2.23 firmware update but it will not get an update to ReadyNAS OS 6.
And of course the hardware warranty will be honored.mdgm wrote: The Ultra 4 will get the upcoming 4.2.23 firmware update but it will not get an update to ReadyNAS OS 6. - Thanks for the info mdgm and StephenB. it seems like going backwards is not the way to go! but then the additional $250 does not include the stocking fees which is 15% that will be charged by MSY during return.
What a lesson to learn!!
Is there any way to use the 104 for surveillance? I do business trips very often and would prefer to be able to check out my home while i'm away. for instance, backdoor installation of surveillance software.
