RN202 When i enable the Wake on lan and i turn off the nas, it automatically powers up after 5/7 sec

RN202 OS 6.9.0

I enabled the feature Wake on lan and i turned off the nas but it powers back up after 5/7sec..

If i disable it there's no problem, when i turn off it remains off.

Any idea?

    How are you shutting it down?  The web UI?

     

    Is it possible that something on the network is generating wake-on-lan packets?

     

    Maybe try turning off other devices on your network, and see if that helps.

      Would pulling the lan cable out of the RN or router/switch to check whether it was the RN waking itself up or something coming from the network?

        I tried to look inside my router settings and it had port 9 enabled externally.
        I turned off the port and everything works regularly.
        Probably something from the outside activated the WOL but I do not know what ..
        Is there a way to figure out where the calling packages come from?
