Remote WOL issues on 1.9.2

Post by jservs7 »

Hello all,

Just updated my TP-Link AC1750 V2 router with Gargoyle 1.9.2 and its been super steady after so many disconnects.

The one thing I am having issues with is WOL not working when trying to wake up my home PC via my Android device on data until I restart my computer one time.

With the factory firmware for TP-Link, it was working smoothly. Here's what I've done so far:

* Assigned static IP that is in Gargoyle's DHCP range to PC
* Setup no-ip DDNS which is updating fine it seems
* Setup port forwarding to UDP port forwarding directly to the static IP I set for my PC
* Added the following to my /etc/rc.local via a tutorial I found online:
ip neigh add static lladdr mac address nud permanent dev br-lan

The only thing I haven't done is a full restart of the router after making the above changes.

Any suggestions if anyone else is experiencing this? Again... WOL is working once, but after I power off my computer I have to manually restart it and then WOL will work again.

It looks like I fixed it:

I had to add the following to my /etc/rc.local:

Code: Select all

ip neigh change static lladdr mac address nud permanent dev br-lan
ip neigh add static lladdr mac address nud permanent dev br-lan
Once I did that, I restarted the router and my phone has been able to wake up my PC on data multiple times. :)

When you say "on data", do you mean from the WAN side?

Yes Lantis. I guess after adding the extra "neigh change" line, it fixed my issue.
