Title: Wireless Schedule, Broadcasts with 1.33NA
Post by: dtalwar on February 16, 2010, 10:28:54 AM

I recently upgraded to 1.33NA from 1.21 (yeah, I know!). So far, 1.33NA seems to be holding up ok except for two annoying problems:

1) I have a schedule for Wireless, to go off at 11 PM and to come back on at 6 AM. Well, it does that, except that it reboots itself when the wireless starts at 6 AM. Never happened with 1.21.

2) I am not able to use the broadcast capability for WOL at all. I used to be able to do this very reliably with 1.21. Within the LAN, it works fine. From outside the LAN, DIR-655 does get the packet but doesn't seem to put it on the broadcast address. I have a Virtual Server rule defined to forward to the subnet broadcast address when a packet arrives for a particular port. I am testing with a packet sniffer. The packet does come in when the forward address is a particular IP, but when it is the broadcast address, it seems to get lost.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The 655 has had issues with rules that wrap arounf Midnight.  Best thing to do is to create two rules the first from start time to Midnight and the second from Midnight to end time.
