Hello.
I have a few questions about the setup of my home network.
My internetprovider is "Yousee", a cablecompany located in Denmark, which provides the internet through a coaxial cable.
My router is Netgear CG3000.
This router has almost everything i need. Gigabit LAN switch and wireless N, but lacks dual-band and the abillity to allow wake-on-wan. I have succesfully setup wake-on-lan, but I can conclude that the router is blocking the WAN-packet.
On the yousee supportpage it is mentioned that it is possible, though not advised, to disable the routerfunction in the CG3000.
This should make the CG3000 into a modem which I can connect any router to if I register the new router on their website.
This makes me wonder: is the WAN-packet blocking located in the router or the modem? Should I be able to wake my computer from WAN if I disable the router inside the CG3000 and connect it to a router that is approved for wake-on-wan? Or is it simply a limitation that exists inside the modem and nothing I can do about?
If the solution is to buy a new router, which is wake-on-wan-able, which should I buy when my needs are the following:
1 Gbps 4 port LAN switch, wireless N 300Mbps standard dual-band, support for USB-devices like external HDD and printers and of course wake-on-wan-able.
...and of course not too expensive.
Thank you for reading this, and I am sorry about my mediocre english capabilities. I am from Denmark.
