stephen thanks for update. So will it be OK now to keep NAS connected to power always for wake on Lan or will it cause issues.
Looks like my NIC1 is gone and I have only NiC2...

I hope it will be ok - and that the hardware issue won't get worse.
You might also want to test WoL on NiC2, just to make sure it is working ok.

Yes.. WOL is working still on both NIC's to get it online.. But once its online NIC1 stops responding in few mins..
Will you be to check logs or something to confirm its hardware issue only if possible.
Or let me know if I can do some checks.
But yes.. NIC2 is doing good. I ran some copies for last 2 days and its working ok.

It's unlikely there will be anything in the logs that will help, but I guess you can look. It's hard to say if NIC2 will continue to perform not knowing what caused the problem with NIC1 or even having a schematic. So I recommend you keep your backup current and be prepared that you may need to replace the NAS..
