FW 6.4.1 Problems: Power Timer not working
Firstly, you need to know that I'm using a RN102, obviously with FW 6.4.1 loaded. Mostly I'm pleased with the changes made so far, but there are two problems which do need to be solved:
- As so many have reported, there is a serious speed issue, unless the AV software is turned off.
- The Power Timer appears to be entirely unresponsive - my backups are working as scheduled, even though the power should be shut off at the time. There is no log entry for shutdown or restart. This is inconvenient at Chrismas with a granddaughter sleeping in my study!
Is there an easy solution?

The unit won't scheduled power off while a backup job is in progress. It should power off once the backup completes if when the backup completes the NAS isn't meant to be back on by then.
Thank you for your reply, but this doesn't appear to happen. If backups or snapshots are scheduled, power off does not occur. The new manual clearly suggests that Power Timer off command should take precedence, but each time this is suspended (even though backups or snapshots are not in progress at the time) and does not happen when the events are completed.
This appears to me to be a firmware fault, and was not evident in versions before 6.4.
