What is a bit puzzling is that

- maually shutting down using the GUI causes the pwerr schedule to cease working

"Physical" shutdown does not change the schedule settings.
Also note that returning to the GUI, the GUI still indicates the power schedule as "activated".

Nice if Netgear could at least fix the GUI so that the user is aware that the schedule is decativated as described above.
Better up if the schedule settings remain active as configured.
