Hello,

I recently bought an ASUS RT-AC66U. Right after installation I upgraded to asuswrt-merlin and I am pretty satisfied. Currently I have only one small problem with Wake-On-Lan:

- When configuring the target MAC through the WebInterface (Network Tools --> Wake on LAN) I cannot wake the target witht the "Wake Up" button

- When connection to the router with SSH and executing the ether-wake script (ether-wake -b -i br0 <MAC>) the target machine wakes up correctly.

Obviously I would prefer the WebInterface solution over the command line :) How do I get this to work from the WebInterface?

Regards,

Stephan
 
Web interface WOL works for me. Make sure you are on 378.55 (you didn't specify your firmware version), and try a different browser.
 
The ether-wake command issued by the gui doesn't include the broadcast flag.
Try entering the following commands via ssh then refreshing the WOL page to see if it works then.

Code: 
cp /www/Main_WOL_Content.asp /tmp/Main_WOL_Content.asp
sed -i 's/ether-wake -i/ether-wake -b -i/g' /tmp/Main_WOL_Content.asp
mount -o bind /tmp/Main_WOL_Content.asp /www/Main_WOL_Content.asp
 
Glad it hear it worked. I think it makes sense to make the change. I'm sure @RMerlin will see the thread (and if it doesn't make sense let us know :) )

In the meantime, the fix I gave you will be lost on a reboot, so you could add those commands to the services-start script in /jffs/scripts to automatically apply them (see the wiki if you need to see how to set up the user scripts).

I suspect that using the broadcast might resolve issues caused by aggressive power management with some switches. Feel free to provide a pull request.
 
Thanx a lot for the info to both of you. Will try to provide a pull request - never done this before. Maybe you could give a small hint where to start.

John should be able to do it (that was more aimed at him actually).
