ReadyWOL 0.1 doesn't work on ReadyNAS Duo v1

Hi all,
I bought RND2000v1 (ReadyNAS Duo v1), and I was sure that it has WOL and I didn’t check it, and now I realized that it doesn’t have.. I know my fault.
I purchased ReadyWOL 0.1 addon, but it doesn’t work as well. Description says that it requires RAIDiator 4.1.7, but this is old version and it’s not available anymore, I tired to test it on 4.1.8 with zilch result, as well on the newest 4.1.15.
Does it require strictly 4.1.7? There is a word about older versions than 4.1.7 that it may not work on it, nothing about newer. I have also between NAS and my router, 2 switches, but I don’t think so that this causes problem. The link to power on NAS is 100% fine, I checked MAC and IP twice, and run it on opera, chrome, firefox…
I am hopeless with this NAS, I don’t want keep this in my room, I thought that every NAS has WOL, this is so basic thing. Bummer. Is there anything what I can do with this? (of course apart from throwing this out of window) . I run out of options.
Sorry for my EN.

If I remember correctly, the WOL add-on for OS 4.1.x works the other way -- it allows the NAS to send a WOL packet to another device, before a pending back-up, for example. I don't believe there is any way to implement incoming WOL on a Duo or NV+ V1.
The Duo and NV+ V2 do have WOL. But unless you have other NASes with which you desire to maintain commonality, you should really take a look at the current generation of devices instead of buying used older ones, where you get zero warranty support, a very old operating system for which OS and app updates are not likely to be coming, and slower processor and memory.
The best you can do on a Duo V1 is to put it on a schedule.

Re: ReadyWOL 0.1 doesn't work on ReadyNAS Duo v1
Thanks for info. Yeah I found out after shopping that Duo V2 has WOL, but I needed something simple and not the newest due to the fact that I was going to use it once a week. So there is no way to force it to wake up on lane… The app allow me to remotely turn off this NAS, but I can’t turn it on, so what’s the purpose of turn it off remotely when I can’t turn it on the same way, it’s completely ridiculous. And I bought it as new device and registered it and I have several months of support, but for what. Unfortunately I was going to use it randomly, on demand, so the schedule doesn’t help me.
According to developer info if should work on OS4, maybe I write to them and they will be know something.
