Is your issue that the firmware updates failed? (That is the web ui still says you are running 6.1.6).

Yes, message FW Version 6.1.6.
Found another Thread (workaround):
Info under:
http://kb.netgear.com/29974/ReadyNAS-OS-6-RN100-RN2120-cannot-update-due-to-invalid-checksum?cid=wmt_netgear_organic
(Checksumproblem)
But this works only from FW 6.1.9. Informatiosn about older Versions and resoultion -> link is broken.

  That article only applied to 6.4.0 upgrades.
  
  Do you have any apps installed? Also is ssh enabled?

    It seems 6.2.5 was on the internal flash but the OS on the disks was still on 6.1.6.
    
    Your system should update to 6.5.2 when you next reboot.
