Hello,

I just bought 2 Asus ac68u routers (one for a media bridge) and it is working AMAZING! However, I cant seem to get WOL to work correctly. I have port 9 forwarded and a dhcp reservation for the machine I want to wake. The problem is after it working a 4 or five times it will stop and I wont be able to wake it? I have done some googling and read about "ARP" and that a static ARP might have to be set.

My understanding is that with the ARP set the router will know all the time that mac address A is associated with ip address B. Is this not what dhcp reservations do? I am on the stock firmware is there a way for me to set this up? is this my problem?

Paul
