I want to use Wake-On-LAN with my WAG354G. In order to do that the router has to be able to port forward UDP 9 traffic to 198.168.1.255 (as I understand x.x.x.x.255 is used for broadcast). In the port forward options I can't enter the 255 as a value. Only values up to 254 are valid.

By googling, I've found the following solution. The following command is given by telnet:

Code:

ip neighbor add 192.168.1.254 lladdr ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff dev br0 nud permanent

The 192.168.1.254 IP is linked to the ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff MAC, which is also used for broadcasting. That way, by port forwarding UDP 9 traffic to 198.162.1.254, Wake-On-LAN works.

But, the thing is, that this must be done every time the router is restarted. Is there a way to implement this in the firmware somehow?

Thanks in advance,
N.

yes, you can use the boot script feature. Instructions on how to do it are both in this forum and in web interface under administration.

You have to write in /mnt/script.sh these 2 lines:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
ip neighbor add 192.168.1.254 lladdr ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff dev br0 nud permanent

cheers

Unfortunately I can't get it to work. Has anyone else tried that?

Is there a script or something which can send a magic packet? Is there a way to call such a script from the router's interface (by hitting a specific url perhaps)?

Thx in advance,
N.

I've been using the free web interface to send the magic packet which has been working for me.

FYI, the name of the script file should be /mnt/script.sh and not /mnt/scripts.sh.
Its taken me 2 days to figure it out but now works like a charm.

I know this is very late in the day lol...

I tried adding the above script to the /mnt/ folder, which was fine... As soon as I rebooted the router I noticed that my script.sh file had disappeared?!

Should I have put this file in a different location, or have I missed something that I need to set first?
