RN21200 Performance page incomplete
I have a new (2 weeks) RN212 which has been working fine. Now the System>Performance is only displaying Status - nothing else. Have tried rebooting, shutting down - no change. Any help ...

Netgear chose not to create any of the graphs on the ARM based NAS in order to maximize CPU.
That makes sense on the RN1xx, which has the slowest CPU and smallest memory. I'm not convinced they can't show them on the RN2xx series, but they've chosen not to do that from the beginning.

thanks evan2.

Maybe the ARM chip doesn't support temperature sensors but the other info I would have thought was OS6?

Thanks StepheB.
One advantage of the RN2xx is that it remembers its last on/off state if there is a power failure.
I'll call it a 'swap' - one pro and one con. :-)
