I'm running a server at home, but I don't want to leave it running all the time because of power consumption. A more experienced tech suggested that I buy a Netgear FR114 router (specifically, I found a cheap FR114W) because it supported LAN-side multicast/broadcasting. In theory, I should be able to send a magic packet to wake my server; in practice, I've found that the router is dropping that packet.
Anyone else tried/succeeded in getting the magic packet or any other WOL techniques to work?
