OS 6.1.6 firmware upgrade is factory reset necessary

I am about to perform the firmware upgrade in my NAS104. Unlike the 6.1.5 upgrade, where the firmware required a factory reset, I don't see anything in the release notes for a factory reset. Is it necessary to perform factory reset after the firmware update??? (It takes forever) Just want to know.

  • If you did a factory reset after installing 6.1.5, then you do not need to do it again.
    Just update the firmware.
