Had the same problem - Do you have SSH access? If so, your unit isn't "technically" a brick. You should downgrade right away to 6.10.4. (I did that and the problem went away). Contrary to other posts - it has NOTHING to do with the browser version you're using to access the unit - it happens on all browsers - it's a flaw in frontview.
Here are the instructions for the ARM unit (RN102):NB: (you MUST be ssh'ed in as 'root'):
cd /root wget http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNASOS-6.10.4-arm.zip unzip ReadyNASOS-6.10.4-arm.zip echo /root/ReadyNASOS-6.10.4-arm.img > /etc/.flash_update reboot
There is a hotfix that needs to be applied to that release and it will automatically be applied if your NAS settings permit hotfixes to be automatically applied... otherwise - do as you see fit.
Just ignore any further updates to 6.10.5 until they get their act together.

Tnx, :-)
Had the same problem. But after ± 50 times I managed to a normal logon.
Then it was possible to use the firmware page and go from 6.10.5 to 6.10.4 without problems.
I had no SSH on at the moment, thus the firmware page was the only opportunity.
I am happy that is works again.
But I had expect more from Netgear.
I only found the solution here.
Next time I wait a couple of weeks fore the next upgrade.
