AC87u Wake on LAN Problems

[imported808]

Using 380.64_1 the WOL page seems to have problems. After a factory reset the WOL page works, but after entering a couple of MAC addresses it stops working. Any help would be much appreciated.

What do you mean by "stops working"?

 

[imported808]

After adding addresses to the WOL page and hitting apply, the page stops responding and looks like the attached picture. Drop down menu doesn't work and I am unable to add any addresses.

I just added four clients here (for a total of five) without any issue. Make sure none of your clients have an invalid hostname, also check the browser console for any Javascript error.

Double checked all the hostnames, they are all valid. Browser console shows two errors.
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier Main_wol_Content.asp:24
UncaughtReferenceError: initial is not defined at onload (Main_wol_Content.asp:262) Main_wol_Content.asp:262

Can you post the content of that line 24? That's probably what is breaking the page.

Sorry for the late response, just got back today. This is line 24.
var wollist_array = '&#60Michael's Gateway&#62XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX';

Michael's Gateway is an invalid hostname, no spaces or ' are allowed.

The Internet standards (Requests for Comments) for protocols mandate that component hostname labels may contain only the ASCII letters 'a' through 'z' (in a case-insensitive manner), the digits '0' through '9', and the hyphen ('-'). The original specification of hostnames in RFC 952, mandated that labels could not start with a digit or with a hyphen, and must not end with a hyphen. However, a subsequent specification (RFC 1123) permitted hostname labels to start with digits. No other symbols, punctuation characters, or white space are permitted.

So the Hostname and the Client name must follow the same rules? The hostnames are all valid, but I was under the assumption that the client names don't matter.

What hostname is shown under the DHCP leases via System Log for that MAC address?

If you change the client name to match does the issue remain?

After a factory reset and matching the client name, the issue goes away. Just matching the client name to the host name has no effect.
