Latest firmware broke IR remote (original qnap remote)

Hi, after updating the firmware for my TS-453Be, the IR remote stopped working:

QTS Version: 5.2.9.3499 Build 20260514 Published: 2026-05-22

Rolling back to the following the remote start working again:

QTS Version: 5.2.9.3451 Build 20260327 Published: 2026-04-02

Anyone else have the same issue with the latest?

Based on our verification, this model does have this issue in this version, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We will work to fix it as soon as possible in a future release, and our team will also discuss whether there is a workaround that can help in the meantime. Thanks!

Thank you for confirming the issue.

I’ll wait for a future firmware release and test whether the issue has been resolved once it’s available. In the meantime, I’ll remain on the older firmware version, as the IR remote is working correctly there.

Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you odin. It took me a long time to find an explanation of my remote control issue.

(Qnap HS-453DX)

As FrenkyGoes, have the HS-453DX and IR remote does not work anymore…

Odin’s solution is still valid : install manually the firmware 5.2.9.3451 and block the automatic update.

Good morning, I have a TS-453A with the same issue, someone know when the new firmware / solution will be released? Thanks in advance

Now

Will this update be available for the TS-453Be? I’m still only being offered QTS 5.2.9.3499 Build 20260514 as a firmware update. Has the new version not been fully rolled out yet, or should it be installed manually?

Only manually now

Or you wait some days/weeks
Why is my NAS is not automatically updating or notifying me about a new firmware version that has been released? | QNAP

Thanks. I installed it manually on my TS-453Be. The update installed successfully, and the IR remote is working again.

Oddly, there was a warning that the firmware was older than Build 20260514 during the installation, but the NAS is now running QTS 5.2.10 without any issues.
