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.

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:
- Run the new TelnetEnable (see http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/netgear/telnet.console)
- Telnet to router and 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
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.
Thanks

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

ViperGeek, I can see several posts made by you in this thread, and none deleted, so are you referring to a solution within this thread or another thread?

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.

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

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.
