Power Managemnet/WoL problem

Post by Yosiu »

Hi everybody, my first post here.
I have small problem with proper gargoyle configuration.
I managed to establish WAN access to my router, and i have a web interface plugin which allows me to do WoL from router wab page.
Which works pretty well, i can wake computers in my office from home.
But it works only if at least one computer in network is online. If i turn off all computer in office i can't even log in to router, in fact i can't even ping it.

From my noobish perpective it looks like if all computers are down for a while router turns off wan connection, waiting for first demand from LAN. Is there any way to tell router to be online no matter what ? Or i'm wrong and problem might be somehere else?

So:
hardware: TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND
Gargoyle 1.5.6 (r33081) (GargoylePL)

There is also ADSL modem before this router but he's working good, i can ping it 24 hours a day. No VPN i know about. I have real static IP so no need of it.

net diagram would be ISP -> ASDL modem/router -> Gargoyle router -> office PCs
