Hello,
I flashed MerlinOS firmware (version 380.70) on my RT-N66U and after flashing I have a problem with WOL feature. It works but I can not sleep my both PCs. Looks like the router constantly sends some packets and after sleeping computer, it wakes up after a few seconds. When I restart a router everything is OK. If I do WOL for some PC, after that I can not sleep that PC.
With official firmware, I did not have problems, everything was working OK
 
Make sure you've configured the network driver (via Device Manager) on the PC to "Wake on Magic Packet" only, and NOT also "Wake on pattern match".
 
Make sure to shut off fast boot as well.

To many docs do not mention this. Bashed my head against the wall a few times 2 years ago trying to get WoL working.
