I have the same problem sin years... I do need WoL to be enabled, but do not want to have the NAS waking-up by itself each month.
I did a full reset, created then destroying power-on/power-off jobs, but nothing fixed the issue.
Any patch available?

Hi, tytou,
Which version are you using? 6.8.0?
- tytouApr 19, 2018Aspirant
Hi, I have version 6.9.3, but the issue is here since years... so on a lot of previous versions. Each update, I hope the pb is solve, but it has never hepened :(
The day/time may vary a bit since several years. At the very begining it was around 30th each month, then 21st, and now 14th.
Thx

I can tell that old versions like 6.1.x were free from this bug. Version 6.8.0 is bugged for sure.

Are you certain that nothing on your network is sending a WoL request?
- tytouApr 19, 2018AspirantYes I am sure because 1 year ago I did the test: the day before it usually power on I unplugged the network cable. The NAS powered itself at the usual time the day agter... I re plugged the cable then.
