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.
1. No, disk spin-down has not been added yet. You can however user a power off/on schedule or WOL
2. You can do this via SSH, but not via the GUI at this time.
3. Not sure if there is.
4. You can do a local update or you can do a remote update (you should be automatically prompted to do a remote update when you open the Dashboard). It is safe to update. Updates usually work fine, though it is advisable to have a backup just in case (you should have this anyway, but even more so since the new OS is unsupported on legacy hardware)
5. If your system had already been registered with the old OS, I think the NetGear system would recognise that it is already registered and not let you register it again. The prompt to register should hopefully go away then.
