OS 6.4.1 slow ... to the point of unusable
We just upgraded an RN102 to 6.4.1, which intially seemed to fix some backup issues we'd been working around, however we've just downgraded to 6.4.0 after seeing 6.4.1 being too slow to be usable (the downgrade fixed this issue). By slow I mean in navigating file trees and serving files. Has anyone seen this?
To get the fix for the anti-virus issue you can update to ReadyNASOS 6.5.0-T338 (Beta 2) (or later). Alternatively if you prefer you can stay on 6.4.2 for now and install the hot-fix (which is now available).
Thanks for your patience.

Hi All,
I have had the same issue, however mine got so bad i decided to a factory reset! that didn't work. I have been really dissappointed with this F/M release. Mt NAS is unusable. Seeing this thread I am trying to down grade to 6.4.0 now. Will let you know how it goes.
I was at the point of wanting to sell the NAS and just use Dropbox.Having been a loyal NAS FAN for Netgear for over a decade I am at the point of trying something new. these lates Software bugs are so frustrating!
There is a fix in ReadyNASOS 6.5.0-T338 (Beta 2) for the anti-virus issue as well as some other fixes. Please try it.
The update fixed the issue. Gee thanks Netgear for all the frustration and wasting my time trying to troubleshoot an issue the should never have happened. This is very frustrating and made me question if I will purchase a netgear product in the future.
Once again thinks for wasting my time.
There's going to be an article released sometime extremely soon for 6.4.0-6.4.2 and the Antivirus updates to address lots of the complaints Antivirus caused. Please be on the lookout. I'm sure someone'll post the article later once it is approved. :)
Hi ,
I installed 6.5.0 beta 2 on my 314 5 days ago and the slow problem with the AV enabled is now OK. all is working at normal speed as far as I can tell.
