Hi,

I´m having issues with Wake on Lan only working reliably when initiated from the router interface. When initiated from Android phone or over the web, the computer will occasionally wake up, but most of the time it doesn´t react whereas it seems to work every time when initiated from router.

I don´t know what to check since the behaviour is intermittent. Are there some settings Is the router somehow filtering out some traffic on port 9?

Running Asus RT-AC3200 - latest stable Merlin FW
 
Hi,
make sure you have tagged as permanent in the ARP table the machine you want to wake-up ...
 
I actually found a workaround. Turns out that I was having the issue only when executing WoL over wifi, so now I'm calling a script through my always on raspberry pi and WoL is working reliably.

Thanks for the suggestion
