OR (once your data is backed up)

Optional (do before step 2 below): R4toR6_Prep_Addon.bin (26 KB) (upload before modified IMG, don't reboot, avoids the need for manual factory default in between)

OS6 in 3 Steps: 1. Download pre modified IMG, (see link above to see what has been modified)
2. Upgrade firmware in Frontview 4.2 (with above file)
3. Reboot & factory default via boot menu



This has been tested on Pro6s and Ultra6s.

Current Issues:
-Fans run loud, possibly fixed via firmware edit soon.
-Genie (NTGR Appstore does not work, do NOT enable)

Post your experiences.
