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 WOL.
Is there no way on the R7000?
I was an very urgent feature for me and when it doenst work, i send back the Netgear and buy tne Asus 68U
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.

I think that dd-wrt has this, from looking at the dd-wrt wiki. Haven't seen it in the Netgear firmware.RogerSC wrote: I think that dd-wrt has this, from looking at the dd-wrt wiki. Haven't seen it in the Netgear firmware.
DDWRT does indeed support WOL with the R7000. Administration -> WOL- As far as I know R7000 does not have Wake On LAN feature. It might be a product limitation. It is not indicated in the manual about the WOL feature.
- WOL is not dependent on a router feature as far as I know. I use a free app on iPhone which works on 4 devices on my home network.
these routers worked with it
Wndr3700v1
Wndr4000
Wndr4700
R6300v2
R7000v1
Op may be using some other setup and trying to WOL from remote location is my guess, which I'm not familiar with that setup. - Best way to use remote WOL is to port forwarding port 9 (usually used for WOL) to one PC on the local network and if you wish to WOL other PC's on the same network, install LogMeIn or TeamViewer (there are other programs similar to these) on all the PC's that you wish to WOL. Once one PC is ON, any other PC can be WOL with one of these VNC programs.
- Ok, thanx for your answers! I cant believe, that this expensive router is not possible to do WOL :( Send it back and buy an Asus.
- Totti, I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but I have multiple devices on my network that I have no problem with WOL. Additionally, I have a server that I use WOL both via the LAN and WAN.
- And can you tell me, how you use WOL?? I want to start my 3 PC with my Android phone.. I use "WoL Wake on Lan" on the phone and this work nice with my Asus RT-N66U. Please can you tell, how to use WOL with the R7000? Over LAn and WAN.

I use WOL with a server running Linux, any device on the LAN can wake this server. It is automatic (configured in BIOS and software) when they try to access a file or service on the server. I also have this server set up as a cloud server, so any call to it's address will wake it (port forwarding set up in R7000).
Additionally, I use WOL with several media devices, all of these devices have WOL enabled.
I do not know enough about your setup or what you are trying to do to give you any advice. If it worked with a different router and is not working now, check port forwarding.
