Does the ReadyNas 100 offer power on restart?

I have a ReadyNAS Duo and am looking at replacing it as it is getting old. My one criticism of that box is that after a power failure, it does not reboot so someone has to be there to push the start ...

    My RN202 (and I think the RN102) will restart on their own if I pull the plug and then re-insert it.  Though I haven't needed to do that with 6.4.x, I believe that is still the behavior.

     

    But If they shut down normally for any reason (including a UPS power critical event), I need to push the power button.  I believe WoL can be used to boot them remotely, but I haven't tried that.  Some people have asked for different behavior as an option, so far Netgear hasn't provided it.
