Error uploading new firmware (6.9.5)

[ikonuk]

Friends:

I tried to install the new firmware. I downloaded it to one of my Windows 7 machines. When I try to install it via the Web page, I repeatedly get the error message "Unknown server error" after trying it for a while.

I gave it up and then after few minutes, I reconnected to the NAS. It displayed a message indicating that Firmware was uploaded and ready to install!

Update went OK. All is OK.

Anyone has a guess why it might do this.

My guess is that you were using Chrome and that your old firmware was older than 6.8.0.

Stephen:

You are correct on your first guess (which probbaly is enough of a reason).

I had version 6.9.4 before.

Thank you for the suggestion.
