Seems like WOL is the only game in town for remote recovery from a power failure ==> graceful shutdown in response to UPS.I'm doing something wrong, but don't know what.Using Fusion's "FUSION WOL" utility, but no joy.viz: http://picasaweb.google.com/108149798664924808733/Misc#5559114562945200322

I use this : http://magicpacket.free.fr/Works fine if I use Subnet Mask 0.0.0.0 and UDP on Port 9, but I am using this on a local network, not via the Internet.

Then I switched to a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 and things seemed to improve.Sending a packet with the box turned on, I got a dialog saying that the box had actively refused the packet.Sending it again with the box off, however, I got "A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 192.168.0.121:9.Switching back to UDP with 255... I get no response at all.Reading viewtopic.php?f=24&t=38795, it sounds like I need to do some work on my router for the TCP/IP flavor to work - or even spring for another router (mine is a LinkSys WRT310N, and it does not appear to have native WOL support.... and the mods I've read about so far are way, way, waaaaay above my pay grade).Stay tuned...

I have worked very hard on trying to get WOL to work outside the network. The only thing that worked for me was flashing my Linksys E3000 to the Tomato firmware at http://victek.is-a-geek.com/tomato.html With that firmware there is a WOL section where I just enter the ReadyNAS mac address and hit wakeup and it works. That is from outside my network.For inside the network just use a program called WakeOnLanGui Its free and easy.Good luck !

Its very easy to upgrade the firmware. All you have to do is download the firmware file, login to the router, and browse to the firmware file and hit upgrade. The important part is to make sure after the flashing is done that you do the 30/30/30 reset. Also make sure your router model is supported before flashing.PeteCress wrote:ilkevinli wrote:I have worked very hard on trying to get WOL to work outside the network.

ive just started to use the wake on lan on my ultra 4+ and found it wasnt waking up after being shutdown for the night. firmware is 4.2.17

After reading your post i did a couple of quick tests
after 5 & 10 mins of power off it woke up ok. after a 20min power off it didn't

I'm also using my android phone and waking up over the internet.

Hi Demuss,

happy that I am not the only one with the pb...
I did not spoke to Netgear but sent a pm to chirpa. On another post for the ultra 6 I understood that a bios upgrade (not firmware upgrade) could fix some wol pbs. My bios version is: 05/19/2010 ReadyNAS-NVX-V2 V1.8. Also want to mention that my pc behind the modem and switch (like the NAS) had not wol issues at all.

Hi Guys,

a few days ago i got my new android smartphone and want to use WoL on my ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus with Radiator 4.2.19 to start the NAS outoff bed.
As decribet in this thread, nothing realy good things happen...

Then I remembered the same WoL Problem on my Debian 4 driven VDR.
The Solution was quit simple, so there is a German Wiki where to read: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Debian_-_WAKE_ON_LAN

As quike simple as short: (you have to use an SSH-Login to edit the things)

In /etc/init.d/halt replace NETDOWN=yes to NETDOWN=no
That does the job for me...

PS: On Android i use the app WoL, Wake on Lan Wan, ver.3.9.0
I have to use the Option "send as broadcast" to work properly.

I finally managed to put to work Wol on my Ultra 2.
I have a problem similar to the one described on this post: Wol works ok on lan, and on wan. But after a few minutes with the Readynas shutted down, it stops working on Wan.

I found out that the problem is not with the Readynas Firmare os Bios, or... but with the Router.
I realized that the problem was with my router.
It sets up a Dynamic ARP route to the Ultra 2, that I beleive the router does some house cleaning, and cleans 20 minutes after not finding the Router online.
You have to setup a static route pointing to the Ultra 2.
In my case, with a Thomson TG784n router it was easy.
You can find the answer here: http://beusergroup.co.uk/technotes/index.php?title=Remote_WOL_wake-on-lan_configration
It probably works with other routers, with some modifications.
