RN 102 cannot check for updates
My RN102 cannot check for updates. I get the message "Cannot connect. Communications error. Check your Internet connection, DNS Settings, or proxy settings."

could always manually update. What version are you on? some require a stepped process of updates.

I'm on 6.10.7, so I should be able to manually update with the current local update file (ReadyNASOS-6.10.8-arm.img) without stepping up, but I'd prefer to do it through the automatic process.
Any idea why my ReadyNAS 102 won't connect for that? Is the Netgear update server down?

I get the same notice on my RN104 when I check. Seems like everyone is. Could be the EOL and they pulled the auto-update process. I haven't seen anything from an official mod.
