RN426 stuck on Booting after FW upgrade; can't access boot menu
My RN426 had been working fine (and all discs okay per RAIDAR) - though I hadn't rebooted in a while. This afternoon I initiated a firmware update. I think this was from 6.10.4 to 6.10.8 though ...
Well - the problem resolved on its own. I was about to perform the USB Upgrade and I decided to fully power down the unit before doing so by flicking the switch on the back of the unit off. When I restarted it successfully upgraded and restarted without any further intervention.
I have no idea if this was due to powering down fully, removing and reinserting the discs (seems unlikely) - or neither.
Thanks to those that offered advice.
Thanks - I'll give that a go.
Any concerns USB booting with the latest firmware if the last firmware on the NAS was several versions old?
