Admin page keeps refreshing...time off after 6.10.5 hotfix
I just applied the 6.10.4->6.10.5 hotfix. The files are accessible from Windows Explorer, but I cannot do any maintenance via the web page (I tried in various browsers) because the admin page keeps...
ok interesting about the move away from the domestic market... another kick, anyway while we wait can we plan our migration away from Netgear... do we know if there is proprietary code basically meaning that we can't simply unplug our exisiting disks and move them into another manufacturer? or we simply start finding other options to move our data to the cloud and maybe back down again...
any suggestions on another domestic / SMB grade NAS? hearing good things about Synology.
Also I get that the Netgear NAS may go EOS but EOL may still be a few years away but its the Support which is the concern as we have seen.

True, and I still do have ReadyNAS in service that are EOL. I am ok with managing the security risks (in particular, not connecting them to the internet), but I do need to make sure that I can connect to the admin web ui.

To be clear - Netgear hasn't announced anything. But they have been silent on ReadyNAS for quite a while (no new platforms introduced over the past couple of years) Plus the home and small enterprise NAS market is shrinking (as cloud storage become both increasingly dominant and less expensive). So I personally think it is very possible, but not confirmed
OS-6 is on the disks, and that of course includes Netgear's proprietary ReadyNAS software. The file system itself is BTRFS and it uses mdadm for RAID. The array can be mounted on any modern linux systems (unless you are using disk encryption). But that doesn't mean you can directly migrate to another vendor's NAS.
I don't own either Synology or QNAP, so I don't have any personal experience with either product. I would be concerned about Synology's recent shift towards requiring Synology branded disks in their NAS.

I have no idea who can solve this problem, but it is certainly not Netgear. It affects a much larger target group.
Using ReadyCloud to always access the NAS does get around the use of a browser for admin access, and that may ultimately have to be the solution.
If you mean allowing https to access the NAS w/o the security warnings, then I'd agree. But that's not a problem I want Netgear to solve.
It looks like the problem here is that http access to the admin ui no longer works, and that is something that Netgear certainly can fix.
