Thanks,

Warren

Unfortunately not. It'd be useful to have a finer granularity (1 minute) - for instance if you want to boot up a NAS to receive a backup hosted on another machine.

  Thank you. I have two NAS devices both fed from the same UPS. NAS B is linked to the primary NAS A for the purposes of graceful shutdown. Both are on power timer to start at the same time. I get error messages regarding NAS B not being able to communicae with NAS A for a about 15 secs after start up time. Hence ability to start A about 1 minute before B would solve that problem.
  
  Netgear: Please give us granularity for Power Timer to nearest say 5 minute increment.
  
  Thanks,
