Do you still have this issue if you update to the production 6.4.1 release?
Do you have jumbo frames on AND Wake-on-LAN at the same time?
- Nope. WoL + jumbo frames = instant wake up after shutdown. Netgear deemed this known issue, as recorded by my own open support case, as low priority and didn't feel it worthy to put it in the "known issues" section of 6.4.1 release notes.

How do I turn off jumboframes. ???? Thanks for helping me outDid you ever turn them on? They are off by default.
Log in to the web ui, and select network. Click on the settings wheel next to the ethernet adapter icon.
On the "general" tab there's a field called "MTU". Set to 1500 (if it isn't already) and jumbo frames are off. The NAS might prompt for a reboot.
The issue identified by the support case will only occur if you have actively changed the MTU from 1500 to 9000. If you haven't changed the MTU, then your case is different to mine. Go to "Network" and have a look at your MTU. If it's 1500 and your box doesn't stay shutdown, it is a new issue. If it is above 1500, change it back to 1500 by clicking on the cog and reboot and see if a shutdown stays shutdown.
The below is a screenshot of my working legacy Ultra6 with jumbo frames (for illustration purposes), which works fine. My RN102 doesn't work with WoL and Jumbo frames and has an MTU of 1500.
- Hello again. I need further assistance. I've changed the MTU to 1500. But still if WoL is activated in admin GUI it still power on after a full system shutdown. It has to do something with the WoL activated part. The funny thing is that this issue/bug appeared a few firmares ago . Before the bug I've used the NAS unit for maybe two years with zero issues. I have not changed anything else except starting to use NFS instead of Samba.
Any thoughts???
