thanks! so glad i do not have to do a USB Restore or something more drastic.
This is for my "new" 516. My old 516 is sitting in a corner as a book end. Unhappy about Netgear's policies and I had sworn to not get another one based on what happened--however my data is in their format and they make a good product. This one failed (my most expensive by far) but I have had owned 5 ReadyNAS units going back to NV+ models close to a decade ago.
If there is a hardware issue there is a 5 year limited hardware warranty for the original purchaser from an authorised reseller. We don't support hardware modifications e.g. CPU upgrades, memory replacement etc.
nor do you sell replacement parts like most IT hardware provders--HP, Dell, IBM, Lenovo, Cisco, Brocade etc...... they look at long term relationships with customers vs. Netgears post warranty "you are on your own" philosophy
Just in case others look at this thread. There may be a specific upgrade path required, depending on what F/W version you come from, so please READ the release notes before uploading a F/W to your NAS!
The automatic update automatically follow the required steps, but "manually" installing a F/W obviously doesn't check that.
Rather than have a broken link somewhere I have those link to the latest build. If you're going to run an unsupported OS you may as well put the latest build on.
