Hi

My sincere thanks for the information.

Somewhat concerned about the beta firmware as it was a previous beta firmware given to me to correct an earlier problem that ended up causing me even more major issues that required a factory reset and a reinstall of data, fortunately it had been backed up.

If it's a recognised issue then I think I'll wait for the normal firmware update.

I can't help but say that all these issues are ok for people with some IT skills but for many people who simply want a reliable device to protect their data this is totally unacceptable.

I shall be looking for another platform in the near future.

Thank you again.

  I don't think anyone is finding these issues acceptable (including Netgear). I'd still give 6.4.1 beta a try (I am running it on two NAS now). I am finding it better than 6.4.0, and I haven't seen anyone posting here saying it is worse.

    Hmmm, yes I take your point but why do these problems occur again and again. All I can say is that I'm glad Netgear aren't writing software for aircraft...
    
    I'll watch how things go and if there's no firmware update then I may try the beta.
    
    It's a shame I can't reinstall 6.2.5 as at least it worked. However from the release notes for 6.4.0 it says this is not possible.
    
    My thanks.
