    Hello EphraimB,

     

    The RAX80 currently does not support this feature.


    Regards,

    I have been able to use Wireless Wake-on-LAN in Windows 10 with my RAX80.  Here are the steps I took.

     

    1. Enable WOL and/or wake on USB in the bios;

    2. I have my router issue a static IP to my computer;

    3. Set up the Dynamic DNS Netgear service on the router;

    4. Forward port 7 to the computer;

    5. Finally, I wake it up "RemoteBoot" (iphone app). I enter in my router's IP address, Mac address, port 7, and DNS address.

     

    Hope that helps someone.

        I used port 7. I do not recall if I tried 9 and it did not work. I did not need to forward both ports. However, you may need to try one then the other or both.
