RN516 BIOS update
Hi, How can I got about upgrading my RN516 to the latest BIOS level? I am hoping to add support for VT-x. This is what the log currently says it has: sys/class/dmi/id/bios_date :::::::::::::: ...
Netgear never made BIOS updates for newer NAS available to the public. My understanding is that the new BIOS also updates the available BIOS options and if you don't also update those, which depend on what version you come from as well as go to, you'll brick the NAS.
When we had technically competent mods for the forum, they'd usually do it for you remotely as a courtesy (but with you understanding it's at your risk). But now, I think you're just out of luck.
