    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.

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.

The original postings used [List] .. [/List] ie. numbered listing,. appears to be lost in transfer.   Original postings have been updated with original content.
