Hi Riker.
Now that I've confirmed that the removal of my solution was a moderation, I'll try repeating it from memory (I was actually using this thread, bookmarked, to remember how to do it).
- Download TelnetEnable from here: https://github.com/LuKePicci/NetgearTelnetEnable/blob/master/binaries/windows/telnetenable.exe?raw=true
- Open a DoS/Command Prompt on a PC directly connected to the same LAN and type 'telnetenable.exe <router-IP> <router-MAC> admin <admin-password>'
- Telnet to the router
- Type 'arp -i br0 -s x.x.x.x mm:mm:mm:mm:mm:mm' where x.x.x.x is the WoL destination IP address (not .255) and mm... is
the WoL destination's MAC address
You should then have a static ARP entry in your router. Set up forwarding of port 9/UDP to your device you want to wake and it should work.

Feb 21, 2014WOL is not dependent on a router feature as far as I know. I use a free app on iPhone which works on 4 devices on my home network.
these routers worked with it
Wndr3700v1
Wndr4000
Wndr4700
R6300v2
R7000v1
Op may be using some other setup and trying to WOL from remote location is my guess, which I'm not familiar with that setup.
