Model: Archer A9  
Hardware Version: V6
Firmware Version: 1.1.0 Build 20200416 rel.72485(5553)

all summer i was able to wake my computers remotely using WoL via Teamviewer, but now it only works occasionally....it seems after a period of time WoL stops working...possibly after computers (2) have been shut down for a while

 

i have the local IP addresses reserved via "DHCP Settings", the IP/MAC addresses bound via "IP & Mac Binding", and the ports set up via "Virtual Servers"...i am also using Dynamic DNS via TP-Link DNS

 

everything was working fine for months, and now it's unreliable,,,what should i look at?

I do not know what caused your issue, but have seen software upgrades such as a windows updates and Apple updates break things that was previously working in the search for stronger security. It could even be a router firmware update that caused the issue. 

 

Team Viewer in the past has also had issues where it stopped working.
