There is a procedure to downgrade your legacy system back to OS4 if you don't like OS6. This procedure also requires a factory reset (wipes all data, settings, everything).

Hi mgdm,
i thought you emigrated to Artica or something.. :smileyvery-happy::heart: (you prolly had to much to do so you forgot the PERL problem... :-) )
Yes i am aware of the downgrade option but i probably will stay on OS6 if i can get some support on my questions above, about the life span on OS6 on legacy devices.
What will happen if either apps or OS6 undergo some development that requires upgraded apps or OS?
I know this is a tricky question and i will not hold you or anyone accountable since this is not supported officially by NetGear.

viperhansaI would think it should work on legacy devices for a while to come yet. If we were to do a major kernel upgrade and not update some things for legacy devices there could be some lost functionality but other than that it should run fairly well.
Ramtecrob they are two separate things. I would do the BIOS upgrade first (if you are running an old BIOS), then replace the CPU and then after confirming it has come up fine consider upgrading to OS6.- RamtecrobSep 29, 2015Aspirant
ok many thanks,
I have another thread open regarding the bios, which I think you are helping me with
