Asus p5q pro wake on lan9/18/2023 ![]() This makes x.x.x.127 my broadcast address and I can port forward to it, which i did. I saw various "fixes" to this online but I decided to take a different road. Now, my Linksys doesn't allow me to port forward to an IP ending with *.*.*.255 since it can only accept 1-254. ![]() As I understood, the packet needs to be forwarded to the broadcast address of the network since a powered off computer doesn't actually have an IP. I was of course supposed to port forward UTP port 7 or 9 or whichever (as seen from various sources online) to allow the magic packet sent through the internet to reach the "inside" of my network. Problem is that my main idea/need is to power my pc on through the internet. I also confirmed this since WoL works when I send the Magic Packet from another computer on the same LAN. ![]() I'll cut the long story short by saying that my NIC and BIOS are configured to accept WoL.
