    Maybe a better description of what you're trying to do would help. 

    the router itself shouldn't be going to sleep or need the wake on lan function.

      It's possible that the user maybe referencing Wake-On Lan feature on a PC or device. Something that users may be able to enable on a supporting PC or device. Some routers had a Wake-On Lan port forwarding features back in the old days. Not sure of the RAXE or if any newer gen NG routers support this feature anymore. Wake-On Lan is a PC or device supported operation. I would check into the PC mfr or devices help and support information on if these products support WoL and how to enable it there.
