Is Netgear still recommending upgrade to 6.4.0 ?
Seeing a large number of posts about problems (some of them quite serious) occurring with the official OS 6.4.0 firmware upgrade. Is it safe to upgrade to 6.4.0, or does Netgear recommend waiting...

Hi pixel81,
Yes, we recommend upgrading to the latest firmware available since it contains major bug fixes and includes new features (refer to Release Notes for details). Please remember to back up all your important data prior to initiating a firmware update.
Some customers have raised concerns to us with the upgrade. Based on those reports, here are our recommendations FAQs on upgrading ReadyNAS firmware to 6.4.0. We will continue to monitor the community to ensure all customers have a successful upgrade. Thanks to all who are providing feedback!
Let me know if you have further questions.
Kind regards,
