RN104 Slow UI after 6.4 update
I have a RN102 and two RN104s. When I updated them to 6.4.0, two of them work perfect and the UI through the web browser is snappy and responsive. My other 104 seems really sluggish and when you cli...
I have also experienced the same problems as described here after the upgrade to firmware 6.4.1 on all our 4 RN104, without Anti-Virus, no "apps" installed. Shared files/folders were very slow over local network.
Cold restart, stop + start, has not solved.
Instead the manual reinstall has solved the problem, and all 4 RN104 are back fast as before.
Thanks for the solution.

Are you wanting to do a manual firmware install? Or something else?
To do manual firmware install, you download the firmware zip file http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/en/product/ReadyNAS-OS6#searchResults and then extract the img file from the zip. Then click on firmware install on the web ui (below) and choose the img. If you are running pre-6.4.0 then you should read the faq; http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/30107/~/readynas-os-6.4.0%3A-faqs-on-upgrading-firmware
I've done that method throuigh the web GUI... Doesnt change anything.... I need to wipe out what evers on the box and start clean... Its NOT stored on the HDs like someone told me because I created another storage pool with other drives and I have the same version of the OS and same issue. So is there a way to SSH or something into the box, wipe it clean and begin again?
The way to wipe it clean is to use the "perform factory reset" control on system->settings.
The OS is certainly saved on the disks, but of course if the issue is in the 6.4.x firmware itself, reinstalling the firmware won't help.
