Reboot My Cloud Home without Pulling the Plug?

Is there any way to do a simple reboot of a My Cloud Home (current version) without just pulling the power out the back. Another one of my devices is showing offline and I want to just reboot to see if it can re-establish its connection to home but pulling the plug has always seemed a bit drastic to me.

I can still see the LAN share, it’s just showing offline in My Cloud Home.

I saw nothing in the user manual that would indicate there is another method aside from the various apps.

I rebooted the old fashioned way and it’s still showing offline but the LAN share is available. It’s the second one of these I have to do this in the past few weeks so thinking something is not quite right with the latest FW update.

That sounds pretty frustrating. Might be worth chatting with WD on reverting to an older FW if you need help doing so.
