RN204 upgrading from 6.5.1 to 6.6.0
Hello,
I logged into my RN20400 today, and I see that there is an update to 6.6.0 available. The RN20400 is prompting me to upgrade from 6.5.1 to 6.6.0:
But in the release notes it says that I need to be at 6.5.2 to go to 6.6.0:
RN202, RN204, RN212 & RN214 systems running firmware older than 6.5.2, should first update to 6.5.2. Then update from 6.5.2 to 6.6.0.
So, my question is, which one is right?
Can I update from the GUI directly to 6.6.0?
Is it going to update to 6.5.2 first, and then to 6.6.0 automatically?
Or do I manually need to update to 6.5.2, and then do the 6.6.0 update from the GUI afterwards?

If you are worried, just install 6.5.2 first. You can manually download it from here: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/31116/~/readynas-os-version-6.5.2?cid=wmt_netgear_organic
Extract the image file from the zip, and manually install the image file from settings->install firmware

You should be able to update direct from 6.5.1, I think. The mention to update to 6.5.2 was mainly intended for users that were updating from e.g. 6.3.x.
Is there a way that this can be confirmed? I'd rather not brick my RN20400. :)
