I am looking for a wireless router that works with WakeOnLan (WOL). I
just got a D-Link network card with this feature, and I can wake my
main desktop from within the lan (ie my laptop), but it doesn't work
from a remote pc over the internet. I've been told that on my router, I
need to forward a port to the 'broadcast address', which is usually
subnet.255 (on my USRobotics router, that would be 192.168.2.255). But
my current router does not let you use that address, USRobotics
confirmed this. So I need to find an 802.11g router that does work with
WOL. A co-worker has a D-Link DI-524 router, he does say he can forward
to his subnet.255 port, but I don't know for sure if WakeOnLan works
with this router. Can anyone confirm? Or name other routers they know
does work with WOL?
Thanks,
Dave
