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 yo...

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.

  Netgear says otherwise: https://kb.netgear.com/de/22106/Wie-aktiviere-ich-Wake-on-LAN-auf-dem-ReadyNAS-der-Serie-Ultra-Ultra-Plus-NVX-Pioneer-oder-Pro-Pioneer
  
  "Das ReadyNAS-System unterstützt Wake-on-LAN nur am ersten Netzwerkanschluss (LAN 1)" which translates to "The ReadyNAS system supports wake-on-LAN only on the first network port (LAN 1)".
  
  Wake-on-Lan requires bios support in addition to support on the NIC itself.
  
  Unfortunately Netgear has removed many of the older kb articles (including the english version of this one).
