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.

Hi mdgm, could you kindly PM me a link for 4.x downgrade image. I tried modify the header to "version=6.2.0" but the readynas complains about not being ReadyNas OS image.
Reason for downgrade is because of the USB voltage issue with 6.1.5, I tried 6.1.6 RC3, still the same problem. So I'm trying to downgrade to 4.x then retry R4toR6_6.1.4
Thanks
Thanks again for your help. I successfully downgraded back to 4.x following you instruction with boot menu (got boot menu & front view mixed up), but unfortunately the USB voltage issue is still there with 6.1.4, 6.1.5, 6.1.6 RC3, 6.1.6 RC5. I keep getting "V5_0 voltage in enclosure 'internal' is out of spec. (4,74V)." Same problem another forum member had. On top of that, I also get occasional script error message, and constant drop out with Readycloud/ReadyDrop/ReadyRemote.
Although OS6 seems to be quite a leap with the cloud, but it's still in such infancy stage, virtually no ACL for cloud function and can not merge with local accounts, I'm now back on 4.x. Netgear still got a long way to go.
