XR500 - wake on wan not working.

Question

Hello. I can't deal with wake on WAN not working and it seems to me that the netgear router is the cause.
Wake on LAN is working properly so the computer configuration is correct.
I have a static IP address but I also tried the built-in ddns function which I checked with the nslookup function and everything works fine, I forwarded port 7 and 9 on the router. Everything seems to be done well but wake on wan still doesn't work. Does the router support this?

Does the XR have a direct path to the internet? I.e. is the XR in the DMZ of your modem/router or are you using a pure modem?

My router has an internal wan IP address given by the fiber modem. I do not know if dmz active, for sure the operator informed me that all ports are open / redirected to my router.

Do you yourself have the ability to access the ISP modem/router to check?

Blind_Joe · Answer

I don't have that option. I can ask isp how it is set up

It would be good to double check how it's set so that you can be sure it's nothing on that side causing it.
