ReadyNas RN104 hangs after FW-upgrade 6.5.1 with 99% booting
Hi all, A week ago I've upgraded our ReadyNas 104 from v6.5.0 to v6.5.1 After reboot the NAS hangs on 99% booting... couple of days later pulled out the powerconnector (Powerbutton doesn't react), ...
Each firmware release is QA tested, but in the unlikely event you run into problems after a firmware update it's nice to know that as a last resort you can restore from backup. It's best practice to update your backup before installing the firmware update.
You can choose not to install firmware updates however you would miss out on new features, bug fixes, security updates and other enhancements. If you contact support about a minor software issue and you are running old firmware one of the first suggestions is likely to be to update the firmware.
Hi All,
After nearly a week of restoring the NAS is running 100% up now.
It seems that our second ReadyNAS RN104 has the same problems.
So I'm gonna make a backup of that one too. After that it's setting back to Factory Defauls and then perform a restore.
Stays my question: Why does Netgear pushing Firmware that is so very instable? Many users have stuck-problems. So our two RN104's too.
One thing I've learned about this: If it isn't broken, don't try to fix it. (If your system is perfectly running, do not make a Firmware upgrade).
