-You can set up a power on/off schedule, but for every power up there needs to be a power down in the schedule.
People have asked for that to be changed, you might want to vote for that here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-for-ReadyNAS/Power-timer-Shut-down-only/idi-p/1049280
You vote for an idea by clicking on the large "up arrow" at the top. Though the subject only says "shut-down-only" the feedback under it expands the concept to include power-up only. You can also a comment reinforcing that power-on only is what you need.
-Also, if you have a PC that is always on, you can use the WoL feature (wake-on-lan) to power up the NAS from the PC. There are PC tools which can WoL per a schedule. One I googled is here: https://wakeonlanx.com/ Disclaimer: I've never actually used it, so the link is not a recommendation. It's just pointing that freeware tools exist that can schedule WoL.
