How to set up WOL (Wake On Lan)
To make Wake On Lan work even if your router is rebooted follow these instructions:
- It's a good idea to test WOL-functionality of the target computer first (e.g. by a second directly connected computer).
- Choose an ip address not used by any computer in the local network (e.g. 192.168.1.254)
- Create a port forward rule on the Web_Interface (Applications & Gaming -> Port Range Forward) to the chosen ip:
wol | 9 | 9 | udp | 192.168.1.254 | x (you can choose any unused port instead of 9 here)
- Add a static ARP entry by typing these commands one by one on the Web_Interface (Administration -> Diagnostics) and save with Save Startup:
ip neigh change 192.168.1.254 lladdr ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff nud permanent dev br0 ip neigh add 192.168.1.254 lladdr ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff nud permanent dev br0 (copy that two lines without any changes (only ip adresses) the ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff is variable)
Please note that the IP address specified above should be in the same subnet as the one used by the router.
- To wake your computer from the internet try Mestrona's online WOL. You need to set port 9 to use this service.
