I have never been able to use wake on lan. I have tried two different routers (currently using an Asus dual band with 16 port switch), different mother boards (currently using an Asrock Z97 Extreeme 6), and several WOL apps. All to no avail. Bios is set correctly, and unRaid is set to eth0 wol g

 

I have played around with this for almost two years using unRaid versions 4, 5, and now 6. I have Googled for solutions but no luck. Some say wol will not work with wireless, others state it will.

 

I guess the problem is on my end, maybe using the wrong port number (I have tried 7, and 9)? For me, this has been a tough nut to crack. I don't spend a lot of time with this issue, but it bugs me I cannot get it to work. Any ideas will be appreciated

 

Thanks

Are you trying to wake your unRAID? Are you on version 6? There is a plugin you could try.

That was quick. Sets a record for me. I put unRaid into sleep mode and use a remote control to turn it on. However,I want to do this using wol. What is the program to which you refer. I don't remember what all I have tried in the past but I will try it.

 

Thanks

 

Edit: Sorry, just saw your link

This plugin appears to work after unRaid is up and running,  and used to control other devices. I'm trying to wake up unRaid

Sorry. Yes, unRAID is the one doing sending the WOL with that plugin.

So are you using the internal wireless and not ethernet? In your bios under advanced/acpi configuration it lists only Wake from Onboard LAN 1.  So if your using ethernet maybe only a certain port will work for wol. If your trying wake on wlan that still be harder to do.

 

The plugin is for unRAID waking other computers. It uses a linux command line program etherwake and a mac address to do so. If you have another linux computer you can try etherwake from that system.

Both of the machines need to be in same subnet too, wireless shouldn't be a problem as long as everything is in the same broadcast domain.

Guys, thanks for the reply. I have been busy and have not had a chance to look at this post for a while. To answer the questions, both Lan 1, and Lan 2 are enabled,  and the subnet mask 255.255.255.000 is common to all. I guess I will have to get someone in here to look at my setup.
