Followed the instructions here https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/WOL-Script-Wake-Up-Your-Webserver-On-Internet-Traffic to use my router to wake my htpc from suspend. The machine wakes from the WOL on option in the router. I also setup entware to run transmission, and that is chugging away. I took a brief look at the interface running wireshark on the machine while awake to see if any communication was happening but my skills here are limited. Any help is appreciated thanks.
