Wake On LAN - Wake On WLAN (WOL - WOW) in wds mode, from remote.
Model : TL-MR3420
Hardware Version : V2
Firmware Version : 3.16.9 Build 150319 Rel. 60489n
ISP :
Hi, everybody.
I'm just new in this forum but it's seems to be great. I hope somebody will help me finding a solution to my problem.
As in the title, I have two routers MR3420, almost identica, in wds2 mode. I say "almost identical" because their firmwares are exactly the same, but on the router case one results to be hardware ver. 2.3 and the other one ver. 2.4.
My configuration:
Root router: Wan in PPPoE, working, getting public IP address and DNS server from ISP. Secondary Static Connection just to see my Nanostation, which isin bridge mode
(secondary IP 10.10.10.2, with Nanostation IP 10.10.10.10, connection working)
Lan 192.168.0.1.
DHCP ENABLED (192168.0.100-199), no Address Reservation. Default Gateway 192.168.0.1.
Wireless Network Name "Gigliotti R.A.1", Mode 11bgn mixed, Channel width 40 MHz, Channel 6, WDS DISABLED!
Wireless Secutity WP2-PSK, Encryption AES.
Port Forwarding Port number 9 to IP 192.168.0.100 (IP of computer I'd like to wake on wlan frome remote), UDP.
Security Remote Management on port 8080, remote allowed ip 255.255.255.255, tested from 3G internet connection.
IP and MAC Binding enabled: I bound my PC MAC to 192.168.0.100, of course.
System tools: 2 NTP servers saved for right time and date from the web.
DDNS enabled and working with NO-IP account, tested.
Slave router: WAN UNPLUGGED, of course, we're in WDS mode!
LAN 192.168.0.2 (differen IP than root router, but in the same subnet.)
Wireless: just exactly the same that in root router, except for the Network Name.
WDS ENABLED, WDS MODE 2. (WORKING; INTERNET WORKS FINE; NO ANY KIND OF TROUBLE).
DHCP DISABLED
IP and MAC Binding DISABLED.
ADVANCED ROUTING: set NTP servers IP (the same that on the root router ) as static, with mask 255.255.255.255, and gateway ip 192.168.0.1 (root router).
Working: router gets right time and date from the NTP's
SYSTEM TOOLS: again, I set the usual two NTP servers IP addresses.
Ok now. My PC is wired to the slave router (I bought it jus for this purpose). But wake on lan works only for a few minutes after I shut it down. Made two tests: wiring PC to root router gives no problem: PC Always wake up, ebìven after two or three days. Wiring again PC to slave router and giving a broadcast magic packet, works ONLY from inside my home network (normal: routers don't forward broadcast packet through NAT). So I guess the trouble is ARP IN SLAVE ROUTER, and I tried all possible combinations. Bound in root only, in slave only, bound in both. Nothing to do. I tried to forward the packet from port 9 to 192.168.0.255 too, but router GUI doesn't allow it.
I have been trying different solutions for a month.Now I give up and I just hope that somebody will help me.
Thank you in advance.
