Readynas 104 disk activity led always on

Just noticed today that my disk activity light is always on. Don't think it did this before the latest firmware 6.5.0

I'm not copying any files, doing backups and the device reports that the disks are sleeping. If I copy files from the Nas the ACT light will flicker as expected

but it still stays on the whole time. Light stays on if I pull both ethernet cables out of the device as well. Anyone else have this issue? It's probably more annoying

to see the light on all the time than an indication of a problem but I'd prefer it to work as it should:)

Hi Seanmo,

Welcome to the community!

Can you confirm if you have installed add-ons and enabled services that require internet from your ReadyNAS? If yes, the activity LED might be on.

Kind regards,

  Hi Brian,
  
  Sorry for the delay replying to you. I don't have any services or apps running that I am aware of it's just for basic home use as storage really
  so I'm at a loss as to why it's on all the time.

    Hi Seanmo,
    
    Can you confirm if ReadyCLOUD and other services that require the internet enabled?

Hi Brian,

I did the firmware update but I'm afraid it's still staying on regardless of the discs sleeping and no activity on my part.

Thanks
