Re: MI424WR Wake On Lan (WOL) - working hack, needs testing
alternatively,
if you just want WOL working to a single host on your lan, it appears a similar method will work
1. setup that host with a static address on the lan, (and optionally, add a dns entry in the router - to make life easier with hostname resolution on the lan)
2. setup port forward like above, however, lan destination will be the ip address of the machine
3. add static arp entry for that host, i.e.:
where ip and mac address match your host
the static arp entry is necessary because after a timeout period of your pc being in standby, the router's dynamic arp cache expires and can never resolve the mac address for that ip.
I'm still digging for a way to edit persistant arp entries via router configuration, etc |

I'm still digging for a way to edit persistent ARP entries via router configuration, etc Have you tried this:
Reserving an DHCP address:
•Click on the ADVANCED icon at the top
•YES to the nag.
•Select IP Address Distribution
•Select Connection List
•Select New Static Connection
•Enter host name
•Enter IP address
•Enter MAC address
•APPLY
These should be persistent. |
