Wake on Lan with RAX80
How do I enable wake on lan on my nighthawk RAX80 router?
So I need port 7 and not port 9?
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.

If you're using a program which runs on some other system, then the
router itself is not really doing anything with WoL.> So I need port 7 and not port 9?
You'd need to use whatever the WoL program needs you to use. But,
again, it'd be the WoL program which would be doing the WoL work, not
the router.
> Which routers do?I know nothing, but I've never see WoL mentioned in the documentation
for any consumer-grade Netgear router. I seem to recall seeing reports
here of people using a Raspberry Pi with a WoL program. In that case,
too, the router would not be doing the actual WoL work.I forgot to mention, I believe windows 10 requires you to turn off fast boot for WOL to work.
- I did that already
