Hi, i get my new R7000 today and have an Asus RT-N66U before. The Asus WOL work fine but i found no way to use WOL with the R7000. With the R7000 i cant use 255.255.255.255 as Subnetmask to use ...
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.

I use WOL with a server running Linux, any device on the LAN can wake this server. It is automatic (configured in BIOS and software) when they try to access a file or service on the server. I also have this server set up as a cloud server, so any call to it's address will wake it (port forwarding set up in R7000).
Additionally, I use WOL with several media devices, all of these devices have WOL enabled.
I do not know enough about your setup or what you are trying to do to give you any advice. If it worked with a different router and is not working now, check port forwarding.
