I am wondering if anyone knows of any brands of ADSL router which have a wake up on lan feature, this would be so I could connect to my router away from home by either http or telnet and send a wake up on lan to my workstation to turn it on.

Basically I just need to be able to send the magic packet from the router..

Your thoughts ...

Thanks.

There are a few brands of routers that allow some dynamic dns services to be used from the router. Most people have a dynamic IP so they can't easily find their home without a dynamic service. Not sure if all those that are supported are free. Then you'd have to nat the ports to the box.


Not sure it would be worth the trouble. I never allow wake on lan unless it is up in some very hard place to get at.

I know intel had some management type of setups but they were difficult and in some cases didn't work. Might see about those also.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.

Hmmm ok, well I solved this issue by setting up a port forward which forwards to the broadcast address of the router (Which sends to all ethernet interfaces) then wrote a PHP script which I have hosted on website accessible only on vpn, the PHP script uses socket functions to send the magic packet to my public IP then my router sends that packet to the broadcast address. Works nice.
