Hi mhoehne,

 

Welcome to the community!

 

Downgrading the firmware from 6.4.0 to 6.2.x is not recommended. Have you tried using the latest Beta Firmware 6.4.1-T29 (Beta 2)? 

 

Let us know if this helps.

 

 

Kind regards,

    Hi BrianL,

     

    thanks. I hope I have the Beta2 image. I have doublecheck that I have the T29 from saturday and the RN10 shows the T29 build. Do we have other indicators/checkpoints to check , which T29 build (1 or 2) I have? With T29 I have the same issues.

     

    regards Marcel

      6.4.1-T29 is beta 2.  6.4.1-T21 was beta 1.

       

      Each beta has a different Txx number.

      Hi mhoehne,

       

      Thanks for responding. Have you experienced the same using other file sharing protocols like SMB and AFP?

       

       

      Kind regards,

        Hi BrianL,

         

        sorry for late response, but it seems that I don't get any information on answers on my topic.

        I checked yesterday the SMB file transfer bandwith and the speed is appr. 24 MB/sec sequentiell copy. On FTP i have interruptions at transfer. Typically i store VM backups on Neatgear and this files have a size of 70GB. The interrupt occurs at appr. 70% copy, but in several cases(tries) at the same point. After updating to 6.4.0 also the power down initiated with Powerbutton doesn't work. Shutdown via Android App works.

        I want to go back to 6.2.5. but downgrading via local FW update doesn't work. What are the riska to go back to 6.2.5 via USB recovery tool? I don't use Snapshots or Quota . Does 6.4.0 change anything in the filesystem? Does my data are availabale if I go back with USB recovery? Do I have a absoluto showstopper to go back?

         

        regards Marcel
