It's released (not tagged as beta or RC-1 in the kb article).
But there is always a lag of a few days to a week before they put it on the update server. In the meantime you can download from the kb article link and install it manually.

Re: Antivirus scanner definition file update failed
The message "Antivirus scanner definition file update failed due to download failure. Check your Internet connection." appeared last year, was fixed, then reappeared as of October 29, 2021. My current OS is 6.10.5 Hotfix 1. Are they ever going to get this right?

Re: Antivirus scanner definition file update failed
Here we go again. Last year I encountered this problem of error messages indicating that the latest antivirus definitions were failing to download. I ended up having to pay for tech support to get this problem fixed! Now it is doing it again. I am currently running firmware version 6.10.5 Hotfix 1. I have read several forum entries saying the solution is to get the latest firmware update 6.10.6. HOWEVER, the link within the RADAR software to (Check for Updates) says that I am running the latest version. SO, I followed the links to manually download the update but the disk image that is downloaded WILL NOT OPEN on my iMac and nothing I have tried will allow me to mount the disk image and instal it. HELP????

It's not a disk image - it just happens to have an img extension. You don't open it or mount it on the Mac.
Instead you go to system->settings->update in the admin web ui and click on the "install firmware" control. That will open a window that lets you select the file. It will then be uploaded to the NAS, and after verification it will install. You'll then get a pop-up telling you to reboot the NAS.
If this is too hard for you, then just wait a bit longer. Netgear should be pushing the release out through check-for-updates fairly soon.

6.10.6 fixed this issue on my 526X, functioning perfectly again.

Thanks for your help. The .img file extension had me fooled inti thinking it was a **bleep** image, (I can't imagine why).
I have done as you suggested and gone in through the system page and tried to do a manual firmware update. All I am getting is a blue spinning wheel as the system tries to upload the file but nothing happens. Eventually RAIDar just gives up. I guess I will have to wait until the update is registered on the server and my system recognises that it needs to be updated.
Once again, thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

You uploaded the arm binary???
I suggest checking that your OS partition isn't full. Download the entire log zip file from the logs page in the web ui.
Then open volume.log, and scroll down to the section that starts with === df -h ===
=== df -h === Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 10M 4.0K 10M 1% /dev /dev/md0 4.0G 1.1G 2.7G 29% / tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 1.9G 7.7M 1.9G 1% /run tmpfs 962M 12M 950M 2% /run/lock tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
The /dev/md0 line is the OS partition. Normally it is 20-30% full. Let us know what yours is.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes I downloaded the arm binary file.
Checked the log as suggested. It is currently at 37%

Re: Antivirus scanner definition file update failed
Maybe reboot the NAS and try the upload again.

Thanks StepenB!!! Who would have thought the old, "Try turning it off and turning it back on again," suggestion would work??
I restarted the NAS and the binary file uploaded immediately, withing a matter of seconds. The NAS then needed to be rebooted twice before the firmware installed itself, but now everything is looking like it has worked.
Thanks for your support. I just wish Netgear would make these things simple and easy for non-expert users like myself......
