Wol help

I set up my orbi rbr20 as a wired access point and connected my PC via ethernet to the orbi. I can't get wol to work in this configuration. It was working when I had the orbi setup in router mode but for other reasons I needed to change it to access point mode. Is it possible to get wol working as I have it setup now?

Re: Wol help

One reason people have not responded to the question is ambiguity about what "Wol" stands for.  "Wake on LAN"?  An on-line computer game?

You would need to probably set the Orbi back to Router mode or configure WakeOnLan on your main host router while the Orbi is in AP mode.
