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. 192.168.0.254)
- 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 instead of 150 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)
