I have a Linksys WRT54G acting as an access point on the ground floor of my home. It is connected to the main router on the top floor via a TP-Link Powerline connection.
The Powerline has a sleep mode and once in that mode the Linksys cannot wake it up. According to TP-Link support, "If the Router doesnt support so called "Magic Packets" you have the problem you describe.." Unplugging the Linksys and plugging it back in wakes up the Powerline adaptor until the next time it goes into sleep mode. This is a royal pain in the backsides.
I believe that the 54g doesn't support magic packets. Is there a way of configuring it so it does. I have looked at some solutions but they seem very complex.
If there is no way to configure it then what current routers support magic packets. I just want an inexpensive "n" 300 bps router that I can configure as an access point but I want to make sure it has this capability.
