ReadyNAS 104 Unable to Update Firmware

I have 4 ReadyNAS 104's, each are presently running under firmware 6.2.5, but when you view them in RAIDar they show 6.4.2, so something ammiss there?

 

I have tried selecting the 'Check for Updates' option but this does absolutlty nothing....

 

I have tried downloading firmware 'ReadyNASOS-6.5.2-arm' from the Netgear downloads site and tried to install this on 2 of the 4 boxes, both go through the motions but when they come back up after supoosedly installing the firmware they are still running under 6.2.5.

 

I really cannot afford to loose any data, is there a way to force these to be updated or am i trying to install the wrong version? someone hinted that i need to update the firmware to sort out very bad speed issues with these boxes

    Just wondering - did you downgrade from 6.4.2 to 6.2.5 at some point?  It seems odd that all four NAS have this inconsistency.

      Nope never downgraded any of them, and only ever updated them via the 'Check for Updates' option, trying manually now, but nothing is happening...

        Something seems very wrong.  Do you have ssh enabled?
