OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...
mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.
I bought 1 year ago an Ultra2 because this product was based on an Intel Atom, so it seemed to have a good longevity as a plateform (or future enhancements) compared to ARM products. It turns out that i was wrong (and also i had a bad surprise on the hardware unannounced D405 instead of D425). I found very rude that Netgear choosed to deceive deeply the 'not that old' buyers (after less than 1 year) : there will never be any major firmware update compared to the 3 years long warranty !! I know the 2 are not completely related but the huge difference is for me abnormal. I prefer the ethics of Synology's business model.
I would be glad to try this os6 on a legacy x86 readynas (which are still on sale by the way... but i guess not for long)
