Re: Wake On Lan with R7000

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.

Re: Wake On Lan with R7000

Hello.

I'm running V1.0.4.30_1.1.67 and just tried it again after a fresh reboot (which resets the telnet listener). Worked again:

C:\>telnet 192.168.0.1
BusyBox v1.7.2 (2015-05-26 08:38:17 CST) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

#



Here's the MD5 of the telnetEnable.exe I'm using:

C:\>md5 telnetEnable.exe
MD5(telnetEnable.exe)= 90186d9b6dfe7f414af099f7663e53e4



I'm also directly adjacent to the Ethernet and used the MAC address of the Ethernet port of the R7000, as reported by 'arp -a'.

I'm not sure if this was obvious from the openwrt.org post, but the new syntax for new telnetEnable is:

C:\>telnetEnable 192.168.0.1 <MAC without colons or spaces> admin <admin password>


The old Gearguy/Geardog stuff is long gone (thankfully).

Thanks. Redid everything from the start and got it to work. Don't know what happened the first 10x I tried it.

Re: Wake On Lan with R7000

Anyone able to telnetEnable on R7000 with lastest firmware?
Post above is recent, I am using latest telnetEnable.exe x.x.x.x mac
Firmware Version V1.0.4.30_1.1.67, but always getting

send failed: 10057

Tried all kinds of variations, mac with or with '-', ip without mac, old Gearguy ... no luck. mac ip verified with arp -a any suggestions?

My goal was to setup perm arp, to enable Wake over internet for various devices from the solution here http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=90065&page=3

Any ideas on acomplishing this task in the GUI, or how to get telnet enabled on recent R7000 firmware?

Trying to perform this command:

# 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

Re: Wake On Lan with R7000

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.

Re: Wake On Lan with R7000

Anyone can tell me how to run the telentenable command from win 7 x64? It says its incompatible with 64 bit version. There is no link to a 64 bit version anywhere...

I'm running the new TelnetEnable.exe under Win 7 x64 and it works fine:

Did you download the binary from here:

https://github.com/LuKePicci/NetgearTelnetEnable/blob/master/binaries/windows/telnetenable.exe

Click View Raw to save it as a .EXE.

C:\UTIL>set PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64

C:\UTIL>telnetenable.exe

Version: 0.4, 2015/02/12
Modified to work with newer Negear routers R7000 R7500 by insanid

Usage:
telnetenable.exe

Oh man, thanks a lot Dave. I just right clicked on the exe and "saved link as". Didn't realize I had to go into it and click and Raw. You learn something everyday. All is good, arp entry added and WoL working across the interwebs.

Re: Wake On Lan with R7000

Hi !

WoW has been working fine for months and suddenly stop working after a firmware update... So I 've been reading this post very carefully.

I did run the "telenetenable.exe" successfully but I still can't wake my PC over internet...

I set a static LAN IP
I opened a port for this IP
My no-ip ddns is running fine


So i'm lost... A little bit of help would be really nice 😄

Re: Wake On Lan with R7000

Ok !

I finaly managed to get perm entry in my router's arp talbe for the computer I want wake up thru internet but it still doesn't work !

I'm sure that i'm forgetting something really stupid 😛

- Perm entry in ARP table
- Fixed local IP
- Port is open (at least it should be but this tool keep saying that the port is closed http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ )

What am I doing wrong ? Is there a way to know where the magic packets are stuck ?

Thx ! 🙂

Hi @leforban

 

Did you check your firewalls? Double NAT? You may also want to try looking for a sniffer particularly for WOL.

Thanks for the quick reply. I actually had a reserved DHCP address for my WoL destination, but the ARP cache entry times out anyway.

However, I did find a solution:



      Now I have PERM entry, confirmed via the 'arp' shell command, for the WoL target.

Could you please post your solution again. It looks it was deleted.

Was my solution removed on purpose, or did a forum update perhaps wipe out my formatted text by mistake?

Thanks for the response, Andy.  My posts survived, but some of the juicy content was removed.  For example, Message 25 had detailed steps for using TelnetEnable and creating static ARP entries, and Message 32 had possible solutions for another customer's problems that were seemingly removed.  Finally, another user's quote of my original solution in Message 35 was converted to "...".

 

I'm OK with the edits if they were purposeful.  It's just unfortunate that the most effective, viable solution was removed from this forum thread.

Dave,

 

I can see that those posts are clearly truncated, but even though these forums allow limited editing now, an edited post is tagged as ‘Edited’. I can only assume that text was lost in the transfer, but it seems too selective. Short of me asking everyone capable of such edits, we will have to wait and see if someone has an answer, but my guess is that no one had an issue with what you had posted.

Re: Wake On Lan with R7000

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=t...
  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.

Re: Wake On Lan with R7000

Hi Dave,

 

thanks for posting your solution again. It works excellent for me.

One more matter. Is it safe to keep telnet console open? Because once you open telnet console to router there is no way to disable it till router is rebooted, but when router is rebooting we are loosing all settings.

Thanks

Re: Wake On Lan with R7000

You're very welcome.  I'm glad the solution worked for you as well.

 

There is a risk from keeping the telnet listener enabled, but the risk is mitigated by the fact that it's only accessible from the LAN side.  Assuming you don't have a hostile local network and your LAN (including wireless) is fairly well controlled, you should be OK leaving telnet enabled.  I'm unaware of a way to re-disable the telnet listener without rebooting.

Re: Wake On Lan with R7000

This solution works perfectly. Thanks for sharing ViperGeek. The only issue is the new ARP PERM entry gets cleared every time the router is rebooted. Then I have to go back and re-do all the entries. This could be a hassle after a power failure. Are you aware of a way to save these settings permanently? I'm running an R7000 on 1.0.4.30_1.1.67 firmware

Hi MillerTime.

 

Unfortunately, I've found no way to have these commands auto-execute on boot.  I messed around with /etc/init.d, but I believe the R7000 uses a volatile filesystem in that everything is recreated based on config at startup.  Nothing written to /etc, for example, will survive a reboot either.

Re: Wake On Lan with R7000

I was worried that might be the case. Maybe a workaround would be to write a .bat file that will execute in windows task scheduler
