Wake On Lan doesnt work from eth1.

As the title says i have to connect cable to eth0 to see any lights on after shutdown the unit.

Wake on Lan doesnt work when cable is attached to eth1. I have latest ReadyNAS OS 6 v6.9.3

Thank you in advance

     I dont get why 1st one works and second one doesnt.


    I tried to explain that - the BIOS simply isn't set up that way.

     

    But I don't get why this matters to you.  Why not just use the first NIC for WoL?

    That's expected, WoL is only supported on eth0.
