Wake on LAN, ReadyNAS 102
I have a very strange problem with WOL. When my ReadyNAS is "warm", I am able to start it with WOL. However, when it is "cold", e.g. when I didn't use my ReadyNAS for one day, then WOL is not working...

Hello PatrickInd,
Does this work when NAS is cold and you do it locally?
You might want to try 6.7.1-T252 (Beta 2).
Welcome to the community!

Thank you, JennC. No, it doesn't work when it's cold and I do it locally.
I have a solution, however, for the moment: After the restart of my router during the night I start the ReadyNAS 102 for one hour with the timetable and then it works. I could start the ReadyNAS 102 over the internet and it also worked fine.

Further info to JennC: I tried 6.7.1-T252 (Beta 2), but it did not help, unfortunately.

Further info to Sandshark: I checked the activity LED on the Ethernet port when it was cold. It was not lit. As I mentioned in my post the problem started when I performed the factory default. Could it be that some option in the properties which is important for WOL was deleted with the factory default? I have trouble to believe it's the power brick or the motherboard, since before the factory default it worked properly. So I will continue with the solution which works right now: After the router is rebooted in the night I reboot the ReadyNAS in the night and then it works fine during the day. However, further suggestions are welcome.
