Same here and we're not the only one. The performance is now even worse than with 6.1.4. Locks up continuously, becomes unresponsive but sometimes comes back online after 12 - 15 minutes. I let it copy over night and in about 8 hours only roughly 200Gb were copied back....

Here is what I wrote about it in the thread about the 6.1.5 release as a reply to what dishmagic66 wrote.... (And yes, I ordered another NAS from another company yesterday and I will eBay the p.o.s. that the RN104 is. Never a Netgear product for me again.)

I can confirm this. Updated via frontview to the newly released 6.1.5 firmware, did a factory reset (I had already saved all my data to external drives (7Tb space) hooked up to my PC). The system started fine, reconfigured everything the way I want it and started uploading the data back. I am not even at 400Gb of the roughly 4.9TB I need to put back and already the unit hung itself at least 8 times. (It is hanging as we speak) Like dishmagic66 states; after roughly 10 - 15 minutes it will unfreeze again and the upload will continue.

In short: The problem has NOT been fixed, it has been made worse. I only decided to try 6.1.5 as this would solve the problem. I'll now just bite the bullet, shelve out extra money and get me a NAS that actually works (hint: NO MORE NETGEAR)

Somebody else already said this, but is there ANY quality control at Netgear? These type of problems are unacceptable.

Anyone interested in buying a RN104 (without the disks) in original packaging. Bought in May 2013. "Good as new". (Just bought myself another NAS from another manufacturer as I am fed up with the problems with the RN104)
