Thanks for the post. My thoughts exactly, but not sure why either of those 2 events might occur. I had already tried 'manipulating' wires/ports/connections but everything bar the nas was working. Yesterday received some new switches. and set one up temporarily to test functions and check performance. This mornings nas auto-boot appears to be a success - although only one lan connected. Odd thing is the new switch is still running over the same powerline to router, so that is obviously still working aas it should.
Edit: added 2nd lan:
Now I'm really confused: My F2-221 with supposedly 2x1GB lan nics is seeing 2.5Gbe on Lan1 and 1Gbe on lan2 (Balanced ALB) with 3500 Mbps bandwidth. (The switch is 8x2.5Gbe) - The switch has, as before, a (limited)1Gbe connection to network. (And, it's not the cables.)
