Netgear RN312 firmware upgrade 6.0.8 to 6.1.2

Seems Netgear just released firmware version 6.1.2 for those products that support the new UI (I believe UltraNAS and other non-Intel based devices does not get the benefits of the new version 6 and above firmware – or maybe they have reconsidered – not sure).

Updating is always a bit scary when you have a smoothly running system, but after reading the release notes they mainly covered more high end devices (as compared to the RN312 that I have), so why not..

I believe the upgrade went well, all the applications I have installed myself (CrashPlan, Monitorix etc) seems to be work ok.

The 2GB of RAM that is standard in the RN300 series of NAS from NetGear might seem like a lot to begin with, but if you install additional applications such as media servers or backup software (see this post for instructions how to install CrashPlan), memory might become a scarce
