Firmware 6.10.5 web interface broken in final release

My RN10200 had a 2tb drive die - so I replaced with two 4TB Seagate Iron Wolf NAS drives. There was a notice that a new version of the firmware was available 6.10.5 so I figured I should update this....

I was eventually able to get Firefox on my laptop to get on the the NAS web interface after doing a lot of playing around clearing caches/histories, etc. So I chose the firmware update feature in the interface to go back to the 6.10.3 version. After a reboot this seem to allow access to the NAS interface from everywhere again. So I'm not sure what the advantages might be of 6.10.5 - but the problems with the web interface seem to negate any improvements that might be in the latest version. So I'd be wary of this available update and treat the latest version as being still in beta.

The 6.10.3 inteface does keep coming up and saying that a later release (6.10.4) is available and do I want to install that. But after my experience with 6.10.5 I think I'll keep replying to ignore the optional update and stick with 6.10.3 that has been stable for a long while.

Regards,
Chuck.

I updated the firmware on two RN102s to 6.10.5. Installed applications are SMB Plus and VPN Server. Both devices repeat the WEB interface reboot after installation in an infinite loop. I have tried logging in with Chrome, Mozilla, Edge, Opera browsers, same result. Finally, with Edge, I clicked on the Settings tab as soon as possible after logging in and in the window that popped up, I disabled automatic updates and performed a manual firmware rollback to 6.10.4. Both units are working flawlessly, waiting for the new, corrected version. https://kb.netgear.com/000062588/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Software-Version-6-10-4
