    Wake on WAN

    Hello, personally I have always worked with the router's own OpenVPN to connect remotely either with the router itself, with Wake on Lan or with my work computer network without having to open any port on the router for security reasons, as I explain. in my two previous posts, and it works great...

    Wake on WAN

    As an alternative solution, I seem to remember that if you use a VPN from the Asus router to connect to the Asus application on your mobile, Wake on Lan DOES work through Network Tools simply using the "specific MAC" of the PC/PCs you want to boot without this MAC being registered as permanent...

    Wake on WAN

    Just in case, if you are using Asus DDNS in Wake on Lan or OpenVPN, also check that everything is correct after any firmware update. In the "Forced update interval (in days)" option I usually indicate "1" and then apply to prevent the www.asus.com server from taking a long time to replicate any...

    Wake on WAN

    Hello, Kurai, I would just like to tell you in case this helps, that with version 3004.388.5 on the RT-AX58U and RT-AX86U routers the command in the "services-start" file: arp -i br0 -s 192.168.xx. 254 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, executed as: chmod +x /jffs/scripts/services-start, and with the same IP...

    Wake on WAN

    After several days of monitoring the ARP table behavior of the RT-AX58U and RT-AX86U routers with the new firmware version 388.4 alpha 1, it can be said that at least on these routers, permanent ARPs are functioning normally again. Hopefully, the same will occur in the upcoming firmware updates...

    Wake on WAN

    Thank you, Kyjiep, for your good news. Up until now, I have been using version 388.1 on both routers, with the solution we found some time ago, as it seemed to be the most stable one for maintaining permanent entries in the ARP (specifically, in my case, the broadcast address) after the usual...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 is now available for select models

    PS: Although at least in my case I think the Wi-Fi outages are more related to having the <Smart Connect> option enabled, a problem that did not occur to me in versions prior to 388.2

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2 is now available for select models

    It is possible that the USB disk is causing you a problem. In my case, I mounted a USB in an AX86U only for swap, and it caught my attention that the ram level had risen to almost 100% of a total of 1024 MB, and on the other hand I began to have cuts in the Wi-Fi signal, although I did not...

    Wake on WAN

    PS: Finally, some time after the 388.2_2 update, the permanent macs disappeared again as per the trick found above, so I'm staying on 388.2 until the issue is resolved, hoping it won't take long. All the best,

    Wake on WAN

    Thank you, I think it's great news to start the day. Last night I did the 388.2.2 update on AX86U and the permanent arps are maintained with no problem with the method I am using via VPN. Good morning, until another time. All the best,

    Wake on WAN

    *I meant, connecting to RDP using either the local network or the ZeroTier network.

    Wake on WAN

    "Let's see, if it were just up to me, I would have an even easier option than the one you propose through SSH, by simply using the Asus router's mobile application through the Wake-on-Lan option in Network Tools, since both the application and said tool work perfectly on the local network...

    Wake on WAN

    We agree on that, I always do WOL remotely by previously connecting to a VPN on the router configured only for the LAN without opening any external port on the router as if we were on a local network. Then I also connect locally to the PCs and when I finish the connection, I disconnect the VPN...

    Wake on WAN

    Thank you, it seems like a joke, but in that case I also cannot promise that the next routers I buy for myself and for other people I collaborate with will be from the Asus brand, and in fact I am already studying other alternatives with a more transparent and secure WOL function, especially for...

    Wake on WAN

    Hi, I'm glad you finally found a way to make WOL work for your setup. In my case, I prefer to continue using the method we found with the broadcast IPs and permanent MAC entries in the ARP table because it works very well for my installation with several PCs operating as a local network through...
