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.

ViperGeek,
Hi,
I just got the r7000 last week and have been testing it out. WOL is important to me and I know I have to set up a static arp entry to make it work.
I've run into a problem though. Even after running the 'new' telnetenable successfully I still can't access the router using telnet. I get an error saying "cannot open connection to host on port 23, connect failed when I try to telnet in.
The r7000 is on firmware v1.0.4.18_1.1.52.
