WAX202 Wake on Lan

I have added the WAX202 access point to my network. But it looks like it blocks my WOL requests send by a connected wifi device. Do netgear access points support WOL package passthrough?

Jap365,

I apologize for the late response. 😞

I inquired your concern to the higher tier of NETGEAR Support and I got an update that Wake On LAN (WOL) is confirmed NOT supported on WAX202.

Welcome to the community! 🙂

Is your WAX202 set to Router mode or AP mode?

What is the current firmware version of your WAX202?

What is the specific wireless device/s that sends the WOL requests?

Kindly post a diagram of your detailed network setup.
