If I disable the power-schedule, I am able to wake the NAS after both a soft-off (from the web admin interface) and turning it off on the button on the NAS. If the powerschedule is set, it only wakes up after being turned off through the web admin interface. Just tried it with my Ultra-6: same results. WOL works from a .BAT file/utility if the box has been turned off via the power switch - but only as long as power schedule is disabled. Enable power schedule, and WOL does not work, and the box has tb turned on by pressing the Power switch or, I guess, one has to wait for the next scheduled Power On. I wonder if that could be by design....

I confirm there is same problem on my Ultra 4.

If I disable schedule shut down WOL works correctly.

I have found a litte workaround if you want make a scheduled shutdown:

1. Enable root ssh
2. Fix crontab's editor bug setting EDITOR variable:

echo "export EDITOR=/bin/vi" >> .profile

3. Edit root contabs with:

crontab -e

4. Put your contab shutdown (press i), for example:

30 00 * * * /sbin/shutdown -h +3 'ReadyNAS scheduled shutdown.'

5. Write file and installing new crontab with:

:wq

Good luck.
