Cannot enable SSH on RN102 w/ 6.9.2
So I bought a used RN102. It came with OS6.0.0, and it went through the update process to 6.2.x, then 6.5.x, then 6.9.2. Only the default options were enabled through that process. I was pleased it went through the required update progression on it's own, as I had seen some complaining that thier NAS was bricked by doing a direct update to too new a version. But, then I went to set my options and one of them is SSH. No-go -- I get a message that the port number is invalid or reserved (even though it never asks me for one) and it also really isn't enabled. Reboot did no good.. Tried with and without "enable password authentication" checked. . All of my other NASes had SSH enabled well before updating to 6.9.2, so I'm wondering if this is a bug or something unique. No data on the drives -- I can do a factory default if needed, but I wanted to see if there was a known reason or somebody wants to look at it before I potentially lose the evidence. I don't dare turn SSH off on one of my others to see if I can turn it back on for fear I won't be able to re-activate it.
