Router that support Wol over internet

[vestermark]

I have an Airport Extreme which doesn't work with WOL over the internet (only Wake on LAN is supported), so I'm looking for a router that supports this feature.

Any suggestions?

Hi,
The DrayTek Vigor series seem to support this.
Here are instructions from their site as to how to do it:http://www.draytek.co.uk/support/kb_vigor_wol.html

Thanks. I've never heard of Draytek before. Can anyone recommend their routers?

I was looking at the Vigor 2710n since it has built in ADSL2 modem and n-wireless. Unfortunately it lacks gigabit ethernet.

And is wol over the internet really that uncommon a feature that none of the big manufacturers make wireless routers that support it!

I just bought the Draytek 2710n. So far everything is looking great with Wake on WAN working like charm.

I am glad it worked out for you.
I have just bought a Vigor 2800 off ebay for £35 ( $55 ).. Just got to wait for it to arrive.

The 2710n was 1100 Danish Kroner (~130£) but I think it's worth it. And when I sell my Airport Extreme and ADSL modem it's not too bad... Just too bad the 2710Vn isn't available yet, because then I could have sold my Linksys VoIP Gateway also... and would have way less cable clutter.

Glad everything is working ... for future reference I have had success with using DDWRT or Tomato firmware flashed on a router which have the same ability. YMMV
