Nas Wake up itself every day at midnight

Hi,

I've got a RN10400 Nas.
Since the 6.2.2 update I've got an issue.
Every day at midnight the Nas wakes up.

There is nothing program on my Nas.
The spin down is activated.

I try to disconnect the Nas from the network in case a device wakes the Nas. But it failed.
Even if the Nas is disconnected from the network it still wakes up every day at midnight.

Have you got the same issue ?
How can I get ride of this ?

Thank you.

    Have you double-checked if there is a power timer or wake-up on LAN that is set on your NAS?
    Check this link: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detai ... -system%3F


    The wake on lan feature is on.
    I don't think this cause my issue because the Nas wakes up even if it is disconnected physically (ethernet cable unpluged).

    And there is no power timer.
  • Hhmmm... kinda strange... what if you just manually power off the NAS? That for sure will not turn on by itself unless someone does.

    I will try to power off it tonight.
    I think it will not wakes up. But if I want to access to it I will need to power it on instead of just use the wake on lan feature.

    Maybe I can do some sort of reset ?

    You could try enabling the power on timer and WOL and then disabling those again and see if that helps.
  • I tried to enabling and disabling the power on timer and the spin down.
    It does the same.

    Finally I backup everything and done a factury reset.
    It seems to be ok now.

    Thank you for your help guys ;-)
  • Nice to know that it is already resolved by doing a factory reset :D
