Updating Readynas Pro to Latest Firmware

I am currently running OS 6.6.1 on a legacy readynas Pro 6. When I do a check for updates it tells me that I am already running the latest firmware even through firmware viersion 6.7.1 is available....

Might be your browser cache too.

I got a automatic notice when I logged into my NAS516 and my NAS628.

When I logged into my NASPRO I did not get a notice.

Even when I selected update firmware it said I was already running the latest firmware which was 6.6.1.

I thought that the legacy NAS units that were running firmware 6 and above were supposed to update the same as newer NAS units.

I guess not.

It does.

Is the Pro using a static IP address, or is it configured with DHCP?

It is DHCP.

  Then it is odd that the pro isn't seeing the update. Perhaps wait a day and try again. I suspect there is a cluster of servers, and they might not be always in step.

    None of my legacy units are showing the 6.7.1 update, either. The ones running 6.6.0 are showing the 6.6.1 update. If it's somehow done in "waves", how does it differentiate? I updated my sandbox unit manually to 6.7.1.
