Wake On Lan with R7000
Hi, i get my new R7000 today and have an Asus RT-N66U before. The Asus WOL work fine but i found no way to use WOL with the R7000. With the R7000 i cant use 255.255.255.255 as Subnetmask to use ...
Hi Riker.
Now that I've confirmed that the removal of my solution was a moderation, I'll try repeating it from memory (I was actually using this thread, bookmarked, to remember how to do it).
- Download TelnetEnable from here: https://github.com/LuKePicci/NetgearTelnetEnable/blob/master/binaries/windows/telnetenable.exe?raw=true
- Open a DoS/Command Prompt on a PC directly connected to the same LAN and type 'telnetenable.exe <router-IP> <router-MAC> admin <admin-password>'
- Telnet to the router
- Type 'arp -i br0 -s x.x.x.x mm:mm:mm:mm:mm:mm' where x.x.x.x is the WoL destination IP address (not .255) and mm... is
the WoL destination's MAC address
You should then have a static ARP entry in your router. Set up forwarding of port 9/UDP to your device you want to wake and it should work.

My WOL hadnt worked for months (not on my prev WNDR4500 either), and only just got mine to work by doing this.
hope it works for you.
ps. wish i had tried this before shelling out £160 on the R7000!! duh!
Hi there.
I just like to know how you do it on R7000. What do you mean by Netgear firewall driver? which adapter are you referring to? Will it work on any adapter?
