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. 192.168.0.254)

Create a port forward rule on the web interface (Applications&Gaming->Port_Range_Forward) to the chosen ip: wol | 150 | 150 | udp | 192.168.1.254 | x (you can choose any unused port here)

Add an static ARP entry by typing these commands one by one on the web interface (Administration->Diagnostics) and save with "Save Startup": ip neigh change 192.168.0.254 lladdr ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff nud permanent dev br0 ip neigh add 192.168.0.254 lladdr ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff nud permanent dev br0 (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff stands for the mac-address of the computer to wake up)

Special thx go to Scatman (svenlange)
