how to update to OS6? Is it possible?
Netgear sent me an email recommending upgrading, said:
The Vulnerability:
NETGEAR has become aware of the Badlock security vulnerability that causes ReadyNAS OS 6 devices to be susceptible to man-in-the-middle (MiTM), denial of service (DoS), and similar attacks. Our records indicate that your NETGEAR product is affected.
What You Can Do:
NETGEAR strongly recommends that you install firmware version 6.5.0 that was released on May 17, 2016.
I stil have RAIDAR 4.3.8 and firmware 4.2.28 and running x86. Not sure what to download and install, any help would be greatly
Appreciated.

Not sure why you received this as an e-mail -- I checked your registered products based on the e-mail that you use here on the Community and I only see your Ultra 2... so you should not have received this alert... I will check into this.

Regarding the notice, it was erroneously sent to all ReadyNAS models, instead of all OS 6 models. Apologize for this!
Ok, thanks for all the help.
Upgrade to OS 6 is possible but unsupported by NETGEAR Support. There are threads here that could help you but it is at your own risk and requires a factory default.
Hi,
Thanks for the response, so it would wipe all my data to do an update to OS6? And am I at risk if I do not update to OS6?
