I have a wired server which wakes on lan. On my old router I could send the wake packets from any device even if it was connected to the router by WiFi. I switched to an OpenWRT router (GL inet Flint) and most things are great but I noticed that I can't wake the server if my device is on WiFi. It works if it's wired. Not sure what's going on: do I have a setting wrong on the router?
wifi and wired same broadcast domain?
try and capture the etherwake:
root@OpenWrt:~# opkg install tcpdump
root@OpenWrt:~# tcpdump -vnni any 'ether proto 0x0842 or udp port 0 or udp port 7 or udp port 9'
Thanks - probably very good advice.
But it turns out that I completely mis-diagnosed the problem. By coincidence my wired clients were configured correctly and my WiFi ones were not (because I had just changed the server setup).
Sorry - stupid mistake.
