WOL in newer firmware
« on: May 26, 2009, 07:38:11 PM »
Can I request dlink add wol in the newer firmware or atleast allow the people who want to foward the port to the broadcast to be able to. I foward it to broadcast 192.168.0.255. I allow only a certain ip address to be able to go through though. I use dslreports wake on lan tool since its service allows it to remember the mac addresses and then all i have to do is  sign in and click on the computer I want to wake up. Limiting the router accepting connection from this address is safe enough correct? As a user I would rather be allowed to do something then not allowed even if its more dangerous. I am still on firmware 1.11 because of wol support. I think many users would love to be able to wake their comps up from away from home. I would even buy a new router if it supported the wol feature!

yes
it is a very good idea and i don't think it is difficult to implement.
it is rather more practical than the Securespot. Human resource is more worth to be invested in WOL  function

I'm running latest 1.32 beta firmware.
I have change network but still use standard class c network.


I can enter broadcast address in virtual server using the preconfigured WOL entry:
