Hello,
I've been searching for a bit and couldn't quite find what I'm looking for. I have set up the ac87u as my main router that the modem connects to. The AC66u is up stairs as a repeater and I have a PC connected to this through Ethernet. My problem is I can't seem to use a magic packet to wake it up with my router. I can however log in to the Repeater AC66u and wake it up from there. Is there a way to set this up so I only need to use my routers gateway to do this?

Routers ip is 192.168.1.1 and my Repeater has a static IP of 192.168.1.2
Both are running latest version of Merlin.

Thank you.
 
This may be posted in the wrong forum, not sure if I would be better off posting in the general asus wireless forum. Unless anyone here knows if what I'm asking is possible?
 
I think that in Repeater mode you loose the ability to broadcast a MAC address (which is how WOL works) as it is replaced by the MAC of the repeater. (Although I don't know for certain).
