    Weird Wake on LAN problem with GT-AXE16000

    I actually have a cron job running every hour that adds my PC back to the ARP table so it's always PERM'd. This is the only way I can reliably wake my PC using my app over WiFi. For the first few days after booting my router, the PC will remain with a static ARP without this intervention and in...

    Weird Wake on LAN problem with GT-AXE16000

    That's the strange thing, I've had success previously with this app and VPN just fine. It randomly stopped working after a few days of router uptime. What can explain that?

    Weird Wake on LAN problem with GT-AXE16000

    I take it no one has an answer to this problem, why my VPN connection suddenly stopped allowing me to send a magic packet to wake up my PC when it previously worked just fine? Even after 2 weeks of uptime, I can still wake my PC over WiFi from my phone just fine, using the broadcast IP. No one...

    Weird Wake on LAN problem with GT-AXE16000

    And now it won't wake over VPN at all regardless of target IP. What is going on with this router? Why is WOL so messed up and annoying? Why does it act so randomly and unpredictably? I used a Cisco e4200 for 12 years and WOL never failed me nor DHCP reservation forgetting my PC. "Upgrade" to an...

    Weird Wake on LAN problem with GT-AXE16000

    The problem is I send wakeup packets using an app on my smartphone that uses the MAC address and IP of the target machine. I aim to be able to boot my PC both over local WiFi and over remote VPN. Using the specific IP address over WiFi doesn't work, but the broadcast IP does. Over VPN, the...

    Weird Wake on LAN problem with GT-AXE16000

    Pardon, but I don't really see where in that thread this specific problem is addressed. I even posted in that thread on page 4 because I was initially using Port Forward to handle my Wake on WAN setup, but switched to VPN and not exposing the port to the net.

    Weird Wake on LAN problem with GT-AXE16000

    Further testing: On WiFi, the PC will wake up if I target the broadcast IP address (192.168.50.255) but on external VPN connection, it won't. I have to target the reserved address specifically to wake it up over VPN. Why is this?

    Weird Wake on LAN problem with GT-AXE16000

    My app on Android does include the MAC. If I don't target the IP address, then it never works. I used to VPN in and then use the web interface but it's much more annoying than the app which is 2 taps to wake my PC vs opening a web browser and logging into my router, going to network tools...

    Weird Wake on LAN problem with GT-AXE16000

    I'm running merlin 388.5 and I have my PC setup with a reserved IP address. I also have a cron job setup to run every hour to make sure the ARP entry stays perm'd because otherwise it gets deleted after awhile. If I submit a WOL magic packet from Wifi on my smartphone to my PC's IP address, it...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 is now available

    Just an update to this post. I flashed back to 388.5 and my upload speed issue went away. The connection problems were a fluke caused by routing issues in the area on that particular day, but flashing to the older firmware resolved my upload speed issue. Betting it's a Verizon FiOS + GT-AXE16000...

    Verizon FiOS and GT-AXE16000 - upload performance loss after updating firmware

    Meaning flashing an older firmware should overwrite the newer drivers with older ones? If that's the case, then it really is a dead/dying router and not a firmware problem. ========= Thank god, I flashed back to 388.5 and my upload speed has returned to normal. I'm guessing 388.6 has some...

    Verizon FiOS and GT-AXE16000 - upload performance loss after updating firmware

    Did anyone have an answer to the above question? Can firmware make permanent changes to the drivers of the router that won't revert upon firmware downgrade?

    Verizon FiOS and GT-AXE16000 - upload performance loss after updating firmware

    I did the factory reset inside the router system firmware page. I'll look through that post and see if any of it helps but yeah, I've heard of these things failing on people back when they launched so I'm not holding my breath. ========= Ok just a quick edit to update this with a quick...

    Verizon FiOS and GT-AXE16000 - upload performance loss after updating firmware

    I was running the merlin firmware from December 2nd 2023 and everything was going fine. Today I boot up my PC and notice some oddities related to my connection where pages wouldn't load, lots of ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT problems and generally poor internet behavior. Thinking maybe it's time for...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 is now available

    It's definitely the router, either the firmware or my GT-AXE16000 is on its way out. I just pulled the WAN cable and direct plugged it into my PC and every page loads instantly, no upload speed problems, everything is fine. Back in the router and I'm getting ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT for random...
