T28 may still have the network dropout problem??

Ill look into the backup software. If you have to power off it hard and not do the double tap it would mean that the unit is completely hung and not just the network hung. And this has been the case whenever you don't have access? Let me know about the power timer, I will double check with T32 also.

I don't know anything about a double-tap.
Yes to your question. MANUALLY powering it off means holding down the power button till all lights are OFF then count to 10, turn it back on.

Power timer absolutely does not work for me. I did the following:

1) ping -t ReadyNAS IP address
2) reset the tuesday power off/on times to a few moments in the future, clicked apply (Yes, power timer is enabled)
3) waited
4) nothing happens -- no change in the ping -t

Conclusion: Power timer does not work.

Thank you, Tom

Normal power shutdown tap button once and it will ask to push again to shutdown. Thats a normal shutdown. A hard shutdown if you have to hold down the button.

Ill look into the power timer and make sure it works here.

Ohhhhh..I think I've done that before. I'l test that if it hangs etc. again.
Thank you for explaining.
I appreciate your taking time to work on all this.

Thank you, Tom

Only other thing I can think of to try is an OS re-install.
Which settings will be reset??
Will any data be lost??
Thank you, Tom

[Chewbacca]

You will not lose any data. Network settings and your admin password will get reset to defaults.

I have not had any issues with T32 for some time now on our ReadyNAS Pro 6, particularly since the OS reinstall.
Though on a ReadyNAS Pro 2 with T32 and an attached USB drive some backups run automatically/properly and some don't...can't figure why, all backups go to same USB.
I might have to do the OS re-install on the Pro 2.
Thank you, Tom

I haven't had to do an OS reinstall, but I can attest T40 is quite stable on my Pro 6. Not sure what the status of public beta and/or release is though. Looks like public is still T32.

Please try T40 and let us know.

I'll put into our Pro 2, I'll see what happens.
Power off/on scheduling still does not work on either Pro-2 or Pro-6 yet.
Thank you, Tom

Power timer issue needs to be another thread.

Which forum section do you recommend I put it in -- this beta area or someplace else??
Then I'll fulfill your request.
Thank you, Tom

If you're running current beta firmware, open threads for issues you find in the beta forum. with a title such as: "T40 power timer doesn't work"
