Hey there,
I have the model listed above, the LinkStation Quad and I cannot get it to update the firmware but it appears in the NAS Navigator 2 program telling me to do so.
Can anyone provide me with some troubleshooting tips? I have searched this forum and tried a few things, but haven't gotten anything conclusive to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What error are you getting when you attempt to update the firmware?
-
It says it cannot find a NAS that needs an update and does not detect the NAS at all. I read about forcing the firmware update, but that only works if it detects it.
-
Right on.
I’ve got a guide for loading the boot files on the device, booting into EM mode and force installing the firmware:

Doesn't look like it wants to load the boot files on there using TFTP. It keeps waiting but the beast never seems to ping.

TFTP can be a pain since the default ip address is usually 192.168.11.150 which usually requires messing with your network settings to talk to.
I find it easy to directly load on the disk, though it does require using linux for that part (or some tool that talks ext3)
