Hi New to this forum I had my readynas a year ago with 4.1.7 work absolutly fine so why on eath did I updated it to 4.1.8 . It slow, frontview is worse and my transmission 2.11 doesn't work any more ( I had to update it to 2.34b4 which doesn't work properly). I have a Gb connection and use mainly 7 64bits to access it. I have also notice a decrease in performance ( I wonder if adding some Ram would potentially cure it)especially on write speed. I am really thinking of downgrading to 4.1.7 and transmission 2.11. Do I need to backup all my data before downgrading or will the content of the disc will remain intact ? Cheers humberty

Hi Humberty,

You might have seen in this very thread I did this downgrade a few weeks back without issue. It's always a good idea to have a recent backup of your data ... especially when changing firmware ... but (barring unexpected problems) downgrading to 4.1.7 from 4.1.8 will leave all your data intact.

Thanks,

Justin
