I've never made use of it but if you enter the GUI and then > Network Setting > Power Management you will see the page which states --

"If Auto Switch Off function of some service is disable, you can turn on/off the service immediately by changing the setting below. However, if you turn off "All" Lan Ports, you can't connect to this GUI page anymore except reboot the device."

"Manually Switch On/Off:"

-- followed by a sequence of seven on/off selections.

Take the Auto Switch Off tab from that page and you will then see --

"You can decide schedules when to turn off any service below for power saving purpose."

I suspect that the manual is also written in somewhat fractured "English".  ::)

Brilliant, thank you to Burakkucat! Once again comes to help me.

Does anyone have access to an ammeter and fancy a bit of playing around with one? I would be very interested to know the standard current consumption too.

I have a kindly neighbour who probably has the wherewithal, but he is most likely either on the other side of the planet or else out assisting someone with the fishing.
