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.

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

Hi,
It's only Readycloud that is enabled. There don't apear to be any other services enabled. It's just a home setup on a very basic network and tight fisted as I am
with the electricity, I turn everything off when not in use. The disks spin down after 10 mins of inactivity and go to sleep and report they are asleep when the activity light is flashing on and off.
Just to clarify I don't use the readycloud that often, it's only me that uses it. Just a reminder that even with discs asleep and both ethernet cables pulled out the light still stays on:)
