ReadyNAS OS 6.4 • ReadyNAS OS 6.0.1 • ReadyNAS OS 6.0.2 You can update the firmware on your ReadyNAS system remotely from the NETGEAR website or manually from a local drive. The update process changes only the firmware; it does not modify your data. We recommend that you back up your data, especially data that cannot be replaced, before you perform a firmware update. Update Firmware Directly from the NETGEAR Website If your ReadyNAS system can access the Internet, the remote method is easiest way to update your firmware. To update firmware remotely: 1. Log in to your ReadyNAS. 2. Select System > Settings > Update. 3. Click the Check for Updates button. • If no firmware update is available, you are notified that your system is using the most current firmware. • If a firmware update is available, you are prompted to update your system. 4. If a firmware update is available, click the Update button on the pop-up window that opens. The system downloads the new firmware. When the download is complete, you are prompted to reboot your system. 5. Click the Reboot button. Your system reboots and installs the new firmware. If you enabled email alerts, your ReadyNAS system sends a message when the firmware update finishes. Update Firmware Without Direct Internet Access If you keep your ReadyNAS system in a location without Internet access, for example, at a remote vacation cabin, you must update your firmware locally.
