WAX630 Wake on Lan

I recently upgraded the APs on my network using the WAX630 and I am now having a problem with Wake On Lan (WOL) messages reaching the Wi-Fi attached printer.  The printer works via Wi-Fi after it reboots - it will print documents from my computer.  However after the printer goes to sleep it can't be woken up by WOL requests - printing from the same computer that worked before no longer works.  This was not a problem before I changed the APs.

I found a reference on this forum stating that the WAX202 doesn't support WOL requests (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Business-Wireless/WAX202-Wake-on-Lan/td-p/2214925)

Does anyone know if the WAX630 supports WOL requests?

Thanks
Brian

      Marc_V , thanks for the information.

      Was there a way I could have known that ahead of time?  I don't see anything about it in the user manual.

        Have you checked the Product data sheet before buying? or the seller did not provide info? Since it is not supported it will not be available on the manual.
