    Wake on WAN partially working

    No. I'm now considering these two alternatives: - setting up an automatic "wake up" task in the Task Scheduler - buying a smart plug to remotely control power to the target PC, and enable the "restore on AC Power Loss" option in the BIOS (even though this would require cutting the power to the...

    Wake on WAN partially working

    I don't think so, I'm running the default firmware on this router, and I don't know of any custom version of it that could allow to do that.

I've enabled the related settings both in the BIOS and in the ethernet network adapter's advanced settings, and the system works when I send the "magic packets" from a PC inside the network (wake on LAN). However, when I try to send...
