RN102: Upfrade fimware from 6.6.1 to 6.7.4

Hello Netgears Members

 

I saw that there were in short intervalls multiple firmware updates for my RN102 (OS6).

 

As per release notes: 

- ReadyNAS 102, 104, and 2120 must not be updated directly to 6.7.x from 6.3.x or older firmware.  They must first be updated to either 6.2.5 or 6.3.5 then to 6.5.2 and then onto 6.7.x.

 

So may I understand that I can safely upgrade from 6.6.1 to 6.7.4 ?

I would be happy to avoid any issues, I will make a backup of important files before.

 

thanks for your lights !

  • Yes. You can update from 6.5.2 (or later) directly to 6.7.4. If your firmware is out of date when you open the web admin UI you should be prompted with the recommended update.

     

    Updating your regular backup before updating the firmware is advisable as is downloading a copy of the logs.

      Many thanks for your confirmation.

      After a fresh backup, upgrade went well
