    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).

     

    1. Download TelnetEnable from here: https://github.com/LuKePicci/NetgearTelnetEnable/blob/master/binaries/windows/telnetenable.exe?raw=true
    2. 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>'
    3. Telnet to the router
    4. 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.

Hi cpufox.

You're running the exact version that worked for me in Post #28, so it's known to work in that release. The "send failed" error makes me think it's on the PC side, rather than the router side.

Two wild guesses off the top of my head:

 

  1. Are you running as Administrator in Windows?
  2. Can you try another NIC (network card) or even Wi-Fi?

Good luck. It should just "work" if you're running the latest version of telnetEnable.exe.
