I want to set up Wake on LAN for my PC via my Orbi RBR20 but I can't seem to find the option in the settings of the RBR20. Is it even possible to do this with this router?

As far as I understand it, my router (which is my RBR20) has to send the packet to my PC. Every tutorial I've found about the subject states that I have to set that in the settings/web-interface of my router. I can't find that option though.

Aaaah I see. I found out that the software I downloaded for it has the capability to send the packets itself, I didn't realise that until your post made me look for it. Thanks a lot! Turned out I had everything set up correctly already without even realizing it 🙂
