Wake on lan on Readynas duo v2 cannot work
I have a readynas duo v2 with the latest firmware. However, if I shut it down using the shut down function on the dashboard, there is no way to power it on ( even if I hit the on switch) apart from unplugging it and plugging it again.
Furthermore, if I use the power down timer, when the unit powers down by itself at the set time, it cannot be woken up by WoL and I have to manually switch it on again. That defeats the purpose of WoL. I want to be able to wake up my unit if I need to use it and not wait until the set time on the power down timer.
Plus, I tried to WoL over the Internet with my unit connected to LAN, but it just does not work even though I have portfowarded udp port 7 and 9.
Help anyone? Anyone has the same problem?

- What firmware are you running ?
- Raidiator v 5.3.5
- I use power timer and wol on my Duo v2 with 5.3.5 firmware with no problems at all, maybe you should try a OS reinstall,

make sure you choose OS reinstall and not factory reset as that wipes your disks clean,
OS reinstall boot mode also resets some settings on your unit, such as Internet protocol settings and the administrator password, to defaults.

I have had the issue with several NV+ v2 and DUO v2 units. In my experience I can't wake it up over LAN or via the power button after x number of hours. Both appear to work fine for 12 or so hours... after that I have to pull the power cord/plug it back in to get powered up. Others have reported the same in a thread I started about the issue...- I have power on scheduled 18.00 and power off 00.00 hours all'ways works, and i use wol maybe about once a week and all'ways works,
but after updating to 5.3.5 firmware i did have 1 instance of it not powering on by power button so did OS reinstall and its never happened again. HERBIEO wrote: I have power on scheduled 18.00 and power off 00.00 hours all'ways works, and i use wol maybe about once a week and all'ways works,
From my experience (half dozen different units) with Beta 5.3.5 through the release it is an issue that doesn't show up until the unit is offline for over 12 hours... at times longer. So based on one's use one might never see it... I have never had it work once offline for a day (or so) either via WOL or the power button. I don't use the scheduler for powering on/off so if that option plays a part I can't say.- I've tried an os reinstall on my readynas to 5.3.5. The wake on LAN function still does not power up the unit when it is shut down. Checked my wake on LAN app, it wakes up my computer perfectly so it must be the unit.
Have anyone tried shutting down via the dashboard and powering it on via the on button? Neither wake on LAN nor the power on button works. Have to manually plug the plug out and replug in to power it on. - If you download your logs and extract the contents of the zip file what does bios_ver.log look like?
