Wake On LAN Help
My first post - Can someone help me understand the WOL feature on a RN102 NAS? I just received the NAS and got it setup yesterday. I expected the NAS to go into some low power mode overnight and ...
I was able to send the magic packet to the NAS when it was asleep and the NAS woke up as expected. So, that works great from devices on my LAN. Thanks for the help.
If anyone cares I electd to install the "wakeonlan" package from the Linux Mint repository, that works well and does not need elevated permissions to execute.
Related question: Is it possible to send such a packet via Internet to wake the NAS while away from home?
Thanks
