I am not seeing any references to WoL (or "wake") in their doc set. It could be part of their network management board, I am not sure if I am seeing complete doc for that. Though that seems to be focused on SNMP.

Anyway, the most practical option for automating your current procedure is to use another device (e.g., a PC) that will reboot when power is restored.
There have been some recent requests to allow users more control over the power-up settings of the NAS. This would require bios changes on Netgear's part, and they have made no commitment to it.
