RN102 turns on by itself
Hi all, first post so go easy on me please :) Had the RN102 for over 10 years, on latest firmware (16.10.10) Since it now EOL and not being supported, I have retired it and it is mothballed sinc...
HOWEVER, it seems to take it upon itself to start up occasionally (may be after 2 weeks.. or a month, no set period that I can see as yet)
Odd, but my own RN102 does the same thing. Mine does have WoL ticked, but I don't think that is what is waking it up. I just turn it off when I notice it is on again.
I do have a maintenance schedule set up in the volume settings wheel, so it is possible the NAS is waking up to do the maintenance. Or it might be a bug.
Did you check for a maintenance schedule (easily overlooked).
Dont think I do, but just checked.. and no... no scheduled tasks..
While I had it started.. here are logs (I noticed it today.. but guess it turned itself on on the 28th Jul.. exactly a month after I shut it down last.. to within minutes....may be a clue?)
It's been a while since I tracked it, but I think once a month is what I saw as well. Hard to be sure, as I do turn it on manually from time to time for testing.
