Spinning up shortly after each Spinning down

Tested, no, without network, still can only spin down for 15 seconds
Sorry, I don't have a RN214, but it should be easy for someone that does to check if their unit can spin down and stay that way for a while.... this will verify if it's a generic problem or some configuration issue with your setup.
