RN102 turns on by itself
Hi all, first post so go easy on me please :) Had the RN102 for over 10 years, on latest firmware (16.10.10) Since it now EOL and not being supported, I have retired it and it is mothballed since end 2024. So its shut down, and stays turned off (plugged into power, and network cable connected) and I just boot it up when I want something (it has backups of backups and some old stuff) HOWEVER, it seems to take it upon itself to start up occasionally (may be after 2 weeks.. or a month, no set period that I can see as yet) I have checked, WOL is not ticked, no power settings to turn itself on, I can see no reason for it wake. I have checked the logs and it says something like "Background process has started" as the first entry when it has started but I dont know if that is the cause.. of just a consequence of starting up. Anyone have any idea whats going on here? Fire away if you have questions... I can add screen shots of exact messages etc if needed. Thanks in advance
