GS108T v2 WOL no longer working

I have researched this but there is no clear straight solution for why Netgear Smart Switches do not support WOL (perhaps anymore).  I do see a lot of posts of people stating to have problems with WOL.  I ask because in the past it worked.  Not sure when it stopped since I moved most of my devices to my unitfi switches

 

I have a Netgear GS108T v 2 with image version 5.4.2.35

 

I am unsure as to which settings Netgear had determine necessary or unnecessary for WOL to work.  Does anyone know any of the following:

 

1. Which Netgear smart switches support WOL? and with which version of the software?

2.  Of the (possible) switches supporting WOL, what settings need to be enabled?

 

Or if I am formatting the question wrong, please point me to the right direction of how to make sure WOL is working in my GT108T v2 switch.

 

Thanks.

    carlitos008,

     

    Welcome to the community! 🙂

     

    1. Which Netgear smart switches support WOL? and with which version of the software?

    As far as I have checked, WoL is not mentioned on the data sheets of any NETGEAR Smart Managed Pro Switch models.  

     

    2.  Of the (possible) switches supporting WOL, what settings need to be enabled?

    There are no settings dedicated for WoL as well as there are no settings that can be configured to make WoL work.  

     

    You can only configure WoL on the computer (or any device) where you have installed the WoL software.
