RN104 with 6.2.2 permanent freeze. How go back to 6.1.x?
Hi there, maybe someone solved a problem with permanent freeze of RN104 after upgrade to 6.2.x? Behavior: After Boot RN104 may work 1-2-3 days and stop responding. Device reply to ping, but no ...
Hi,
absolutely the same - I used to use RN104 from September 2013 - maybe 1 time of freeze per year.
After upgrade to 6.2.x it`s just impossible to use - hangs in any time (especially when idle). I use the small part of X-RAID (WD Red 3Tb) for backup my home PCs and DLNA. No any apps installed.
I made some investigations in logs - found only one thing - something about Bad sector table. So only idea - maybe new firmware occasionally write to bad memory sector.
No any other ideas.
Really I like NETGEAR before (use it on my work - switches, VPN routers) but for now I'm in confusion. How I can rely on company which not test firmware before publishing.
