    So my architecture is that I have a AC1900 converted to AC68U, on Merlin as my main router upstairs. I also have a secondary router downstairs set up as a wireless bridge (AP-Client) without repeater function. It's only connected to my HTPC/file server. This way I can send a wake-on-lan packet...
