NAS326 firmware upgrade

Peppino

oooh, I didn't pay attention, that he received an older version... I thought he got a beta fw or something. Unfortunately mine will not allow a downgrade.

Yes it will, but you'll have to prepare it. Enable ssh, login as root, and execute

echo 1 >/firmware/mnt/info/revision

Now you can downgrade.

I found all the firmware revision here:

ftp://ftp.zyxel.com/NAS326/firmware/

Downgrading was pretty straight forward.  Format a USB stick for FAT32, copy all the files from the zip file to the stick.  Power down the box and insert the stick in one of the back USB ports. Boot up the box and the firmware gets loaded.  At the above link, there is a instructional pdf.  The issue I'm having now is that admin password change isn't sticking.  The web page offers to let you change the password and is supposed to redirect to the login page, which it does not.  It just hangs.  I ssh into the box and used passwd admin to change password.  But that password seems to work only when SSHing into the box.  Not sure what the root password is.

Figured out the root password and changed via the terminal. Tried adding a user via GUI, but just like changing the admin password, the add user page just hangs.

Ran into something similar. I flashed 5.21 on. Web is broke, but I can ssh into the box. lsof shows http is not running, nor is anyone listening on 80/443.  I could roll back but the ftp site shows six different versions of 5.20. All I really need to do is enable/configure printing, but doing so via ssh isn't documented.

Same issue here.  Upgraded today and now no GUI.  There seems to be an issue with 5.21
