Firmware Downloads
FYI here's a little script that downloads all available firmware versions starting with v6.0.0. It'll be good to keep them on hand for the day that they go away online. Unfortunately, however, so...
There is no download available for v6.3.5, so a 102 user on OS v6.3.4 is stuck.
Despite the release notes, v6.3.x releases were limited to the RN200 series.
There are KB articles here:
- https://kb.netgear.com/27321/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Software-Version-6-3-2
- https://kb.netgear.com/27326/ReadyNAS-OS-Version-6-3-3-ReadyNAS-200-Only
- https://kb.netgear.com/27498/ReadyNAS-OS-Version-6-3-4-ReadyNAS-200-Only
- https://kb.netgear.com/29397/ReadyNAS-OS-Version-6-3-5-ReadyNAS-200-Only
A direct download to 6.3.5 is here:

In your travels, have you come across a single page that lists all KB download articles? I've decided to take a different approach in the script and instead scrape the article pages for the links.
We're able to cycle through the version numbers easily enough (see above), but coming up with the KB articles will prove to be a cumbersome bottleneck. I guess we could start with the KB# for v6.0.0 and increment +1 from there, but that'd be a lot of useless traffic (and 404 wait time) until we hit a legitimate page. That'd be my last choice for a design, frankly.
I know the odds of such a central KB page existing are slim, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
If it weren't for those blasted KB numbers in the URLs, we'd be home free!

No. I believe CrimpOnâ has created an index of the complete KB, but I don't know how he does that.
FWIW, I think the loss of the Netgear repositories (which has already happened) is a bigger deal than the firmware. Another challenge for some is the loss of licenses for Surveillance and Milestone Arcus after a factory reset.
Though I have kept my own archive of 6.10.x firmware releases.

I'd be very interested to hear from him.

That's good to know, thanks. I just happen to have one of those đ
