Wake-On-LAN: Anybody Got It Working?

There should be a soft copy on the CD.

You really don't need a manual for this router. Just login to the router using the default IP of 192.168.1.1 password is admin

The spiel is that it offers one or more (up to 10?) special IDs for connection where somebody connected via that ID has access only to the ISP/Internet and not to the LAN that the router is hooked up to. The idea being to allow visitors to the house to get to the internet, but not be in a position to hack into the LAN-attached PCs. My EU3000 just arrived this afternoon. Haven't got it working yet. Agenda is to get it working 100% out-of-the-box, and then try flashing it with Tomato. EDIT: 2011 01-11 15:13: Am I missing something or is there no user manual for this thing? In the Setup, there's a "Linksys_E3000_User_Guide" shortcut, but it's just a link to a web page that offers up a whole bunch of stuff, but not a user guide. Yeah, there's probably a whole treasure trove of info if somebody has the time and luck to drill down in the right places.... but having said that, I don't think I'd buy another LinkSys router if I knew there was no user guide for it.

That finally soaked in.... after awhile.... -)

The deal with Linksys' external setup is that it allows configuring guest access (a separate SSID where visitors can log in, type a PW into the web page it throws up, and connect to the internet - but not, supposedly, be able to hack into the LAN.

That's the only feature I can see (and know enough to miss - there may be more) that isn't covered by the built-in setup.

FWIW, I managed to stumble through flashing Tomato without bricking the thing - and I'd say Tomato's setup pages are the easiest and most sensible I've ever seen. The bit about being to edit port forwarding and DHCP assignments without having to delete/recreate entries is especially welcome - as is the ability to sort the assignment list by name or IP.

Only thing missing for me is the guest logon thingie - although I'd say that's more a low-points "nice-to-have" than anything else.

Did you get the WOL to work ?

No, and it is looking like greater minds than mine have identified a BIOS issue.

Check out viewtopic.php?f=51&t=45584#p259525.

WOL comes up in the second post and somebody who sounds like they know refers to a firmware update to remedy both scheduled power-on and WOL.

Petecress,

Is it more of a bios ver than a firmware update? That's the way I read it. you may know me from another forum :neener:

I have a ultra6plus and haven't tried the WOL or wakeup yet but I'm having speed issues, just wondering if it's the bios. Mines says 2008. I sent an online case ticket.

Thats odd because it works fine for both my Ultra and Ultra Plus.

The Ultra 6 Plus uses the same hardware as the Pro and would share the same BIOS. The BIOS is different on the Ultra 6 as it uses different hardware. There shouldn't be many Ultra 6 systems with a BIOS that needs to be updated.

I am too clueless to know the distinction - but I amended my OP from "firmware" to "BIOS" - in light of the log name below.

Whichever it is, I am pretty sure that it is not whatever it is that goes by "RAIDiator 4.2.15".

Instead it is something that is named in Status | Logs | Download All Logs | bios_ver.log as "05/26/2010 FLAME6-2 V1.1"

Does it work when the device has been shut down by means other than FrontView | System | Shutdown?

I applied a Bios update and behavior has changed.

Namely, sending a magic packet will wake it up as long as it was turned off via FrontView | System | Shutdown.

But if it has been turned off via FrontView | System | Power | Power Timer or by pressing the box's front power switch (the one with the blue light...) none of the three magic-packet utilities I have tested can make it wake up.

The primary reason I would want to wake it up would be during the wee hours of the morning when it has shut itself down per the Power schedule and has not turned itself back on yet.

Power outages, seems like it's OK bc it auto-boots when power is restored after (figuratively) having had the plug pulled.

Is it just me?
