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.

Click View Raw to save it as a .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.
