    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).

     

    1. Download TelnetEnable from here: https://github.com/LuKePicci/NetgearTelnetEnable/blob/master/binaries/windows/telnetenable.exe?raw=true
    2. 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>'
    3. Telnet to the router
    4. 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.

Hello.

I'm running V1.0.4.30_1.1.67 and just tried it again after a fresh reboot (which resets the telnet listener). Worked again:

C:\>telnet 192.168.0.1
BusyBox v1.7.2 (2015-05-26 08:38:17 CST) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

Here's the MD5 of the telnetEnable.exe I'm using:

C:\>md5 telnetEnable.exe
MD5(telnetEnable.exe)= 90186d9b6dfe7f414af099f7663e53e4



I'm also directly adjacent to the Ethernet and used the MAC address of the Ethernet port of the R7000, as reported by 'arp -a'.
