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.
Ultra4 upgraded to OS6 here - had a few worries getting it to boot and factory reset but largely down to me being impatient, then trying to find out what the new admin password was threw me for a while (of course I didn't try the usual industry standard one - "password" until I tried all the usual netgear ones).
Seems very fast the interface - lightningly quick, especially compared to the glacial os4 stuff.
The SMART+ display seems buggy - partly because the disks are too close together on the screen and partly because it just displays in the wrong place and in a window too small. You hover over the disk green status on the performance page and it shows you the stuff but about 1cm too high and on IE10 it sometimes doesnt remove the window and you have to press F5 to get rid of it. Chrome does the same but at least the window goes away - but its very hard to point at the right disk you want to look at.
I'll put it back to OS4.2.22 soon unless netgear relent/come-to-their senses as I'll be flogging it and wouldnt want the new owner to be thrown in the deep end - unless I flog it at work.
