WoL

[mates]

in 1.6.0 still this bug exists
still I got MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:00 (sometimes restart works)

how should I wake PC via web shell?

i tried WOL with MAC address , web shell write succes, but PC is still OFF

WOL AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA

any suggestion?

I just got this bug when I upgraded my WDR4300 to 1.6. I have added an "ip neigh add" command to the crontabs schedule to reset the mac address every hour in the arp table - will let you know if this works over the next 24 hours. May be a workaround until the bug is fixed.

[mates]

could you please tell me how to do it?

[Rog66]

In /etc/crontabs you'll find a file called root. Add the following line to this file

0 * * * * ip neigh add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx lladdr ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff nud permanent dev br-lan

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your broadcast address (probably 192.168.1.254)

and then save the file and reboot the router. Mine has kept the mac address ok for the past 24 hours

i will try
thank you

not working for me
after 1 day i lost MAC address


when I run command

Code: Select all

ip neigh show

than i see

192.168.1.2 dev br-lan FAILED or INCOMPLETE

problem start after losing DHCP lease

when I run this via webshell than i am able to Wake my PC (where AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA ... is MAC address
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ... is IP address)

TEMP FIX:

Code: Select all

ip neigh change xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx lladdr AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA nud reachable dev br-lan

or for permanent

Code: Select all

ip neigh change xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx lladdr AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA nud permanent dev br-lan

but is not working if i add this command into /etc/crontabs/root

I see this when dhcp leases have expired but is 192.168.1.2 your broadcast address or just a clients address? My broadcast address has been up and running for 7 days now using this workaround.

[mates]

yes it is one of my client address

i have 5 connected devices

192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.6

but only on one of them I got 00:00... mac address

when i added broadcast address to crone than stil under 192.168.1.2 my PC i have 00:00... mac address


also what is broadcast for 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
it is 192.168.1.254 or 192.168.1.255
i think 192.168.1.255


just now only way how to do it is for me

Code: Select all

ip neigh change 192.168.1.2 lladdr 6A:DC:06:07:25:52 nud reachable dev br-lan

OK - apologies, we're at cross purposes here. I use WOL from the internet to wake my machine up remotely. I have started to get this bug with the broadcast address I set in the arp table at rooter boot up - I am also seeing it on individual pc addresses in the WOL GUI which is the problem you are seeing. The fix I suggested wont help if you're trying to use the WOL GUI .

I have this problem too. I updated Gargoyle to version 1.6, but it didn't help. Does anyone know which command is executed when we press wake up button? I tried to execute wol command with MAC address of my computer, but it didn't work, although when I press wake up button in GUI my computer wakes up (This is when MAC is okay).
