Power Timer not turning on OS6 FW 6.4.1 - Legacy Ultra 6
I recently acquired an Ultra 6 Plus, which I upgraded to OS 6, FW 6.4.1, for use in backups. The Power Timer function (which I liked better in the old NV+ models, since I could specify minutes) turns the U6+ off, but does not turn it on. I'm currently using a cron entry on my DD-WRT router to do a WOL job to turn the U6+ on at the specified time (3:50am). Needless to say, it's a fix smacking of Rube Goldberg, though not as good as the one in this simple alarm clock (No, this is NOT my proposed fix, perfume is expensive, and so are cannonballs). Hardware: ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus Firmware: 6.4.1 Time: correct Power Timer: currently 2am to 11am (so I can verify it turned on for to do backups, will shorten to 6 or 7am when assured of regular backups) Backup jobs: currently 4am to 6am (rsync pulls) WOL: enabled DD-WRT router cron WOL job: 3:50AM Ay suggestions on how I can fix this? I'm willing to SSH in if need be, but not completely comfortable in linux. -kevinb1 (formerly imsai on infrant/netgear, how do I change my handle back?) P.S. I'm also getting fan underspeed warnings, but one thing at a time....

FW 6.4.1 Problems: Power Timer not working
Firstly, you need to know that I'm using a RN102, obviously with FW 6.4.1 loaded. Mostly I'm pleased with the changes made so far, but there are two problems which do need to be solved: As so many have reported, there is a serious speed issue, unless the AV software is turned off. The Power Timer appears to be entirely unresponsive - my backups are working as scheduled, even though the power should be shut off at the time. There is no log entry for shutdown or restart. This is inconvenient at Chrismas with a granddaughter sleeping in my study! Is there an easy solution? Scads

Any way to turn off power alerts?
Now that all our backup jobs are working properly, our 104 is on a nightly power timer. Is there any way to turn off the daily "The system is shutting down." emails I'm getting now? The check box for this is grayed out: I want to keep getting email alerts but don't need a daily reminder that the power timer is working properly. Any suggestions? Thanks!
