rn104 updated to 6.4.0 and possible solution to random lock-ups
Hello everyone, I have updated my RN104 last week, and have been poised by the unit hanging up randomly since then. I have searched andread a lot of posts here, and after 5 hard reboot and re-syn...
6.4.1 is released. Who is taking the risk? :)
Only ever been using one NIC here too, simple unmanaged gigabit switch so no point.
Hello,
I encounter the same locks up on my RN104, but from what I saw it happens when writting a lot of data on the NAS.
Unfortunately I followed Netgear support advice and factory resetted.
When backing up from NAS to local HDD via FTP (2.6TB) : all went good.
When trying to put the data back on the NAS via FTP it locked up after 280GB of 200-1200Gb files.
I then factory resetted (to have a clean system without corruption due to "violent" power off) and put it back to support mode because they asked fot it.
No add on activated and fresh RMAed (Support thought it could be hardware malfunction) and fresh intalled from T29 Beta (which was the last to date when I recieved the RMA unit).
I double checked my disks via RN104 integrated test and WD utilities tests => all still perfectly fine even after all the violent power off.
So maybe add-on itself is not the issue but rather the fact that add-on write a lot of data on the system (even temporary data).
This looks a lot like a memory overflow.
Only 1 Gb Network interface used in a IPV4 environnement.
