Has Anyone Installed DSM 7.0 Remotely, via QuickConnect?

[Deleted member 673]

I manage a DS420+ remotely via QuickConnect - it runs just Web Station and Media Server. The NAS is in a fairly isolated location thousands of miles across the U.S. from me. So I'd prefer to update the DS420+ remotely via QuickConnect, rather than ship it back and forth. Can anyone verify that this is workable?

Thanks in advance for any confirmations, insights or warnings. Ron

I have done a large number of remote installation without any problems. The risk of a remote install is the same as the local one. Once you import the package to install new dsm, reset of the process is the same.

Try and have your backup up to date, export configuration settings just in case, and rock on.

That's good news, @Rusty. Rocking on... Thanks. Ron

Watching this thread..... Can you elaborate on how to update to 7 on remote NAS when Update says 6.2.4 is current?
If it was local I'd just download PAT file to local computer and point NAS at it.... but on a remote NAS, with no support at other end?

Download the installer and do a manual upgrade in Control Panel. Available for your DS215j from here:

That's if you have remote access to DSM. It's only a web server connection to DSM, whether local or remote.
