Feature request to NetGear for Scheduled Shutdown.
This is a feature request to NetGear for Scheduled Shutdown. I know this has been mentioned quite a lot in other posts but nothing seems to have happened as a result, so I am renewing the request. Specifically, I want an alternative method to the existing scheduler. I wake my NAS by Wake-On-LAN whever someone logs into one of our domestic PCs. The NAS then stays on all day. Fine. But I want it to turn off at midnight. At the moment the only way to do this is to use the scheduler to turn ON the NAS at 11 p.m. for one hour. The NAS then turns itself off at midnight. This is OK if the NAS has been in use in the day so is still on, but unnecessary if no-one has used a P.C., when the NAS will have been off all day. Why turn it on at 11 p.m. just to turn it off again an hour later? Daft! So I want to schedule an OFF event at midnight without turning the NAS on beforehand. Of course if the NAS is off anyway, nothing happens. Another way forward is for someone to write an App to do it.
RN312 - hdd name of connected USB drives
I have problem with RN312, soft 6.2.0 When usb hdd is connected (back port, usb 3.0) system assign network name USB_HDD_1. After restart NAS (or force shutdown) even reconnect this usb drive (hot swap) network name of ubs share automaticly change to USB_HDD_8 (etc 5,11,14). In options: shares, external, settings of usb NAME cannot be changed (this option is greyed out) Question: Whether the name of usb hdd can be changed ? I would like to be able to change the name, as in the case of SATA drives. Because every time the network name of the disk is different and features USB backup disk do not work. SATA drives are functioning properly and topic not apply.
