Wake On Lan with R7000
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.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on any of this...like I said, this is all conjecture based on my own trial and error.
Fantastic!!
I give you an A+, at least up to the reasons why Wake-on-LAN across the internet does not work, I don't know about the Asus Android app, so I can't comment on that.
A little clarification - for Wake-on-LAN no support is required in the modem/router - because it is purely LAN~LAN activity and works with a network broadcast - you can do Wake-on-LAN on a LAN with no router.
On the other hand - Wake-on-LAN across the internet requires the router to have a feature called "ip directed broadcast" enabled, and the IETF now requires this be disabled as the router's default setting and most manufacturers simply don't provide a way to enable it.
