Question Wake on Lan issue from Access Point

[Redwarzes]

I have an issue in WOL from my access point.

Please refer below image link. https://ibb.co/wQsX9JQ

PC1 is perfectly working the WOL function on main router GT-AX11000 but PC2 is not working WOL from AP RT-AC68U. When I connected PC2 to main router GT-AX11000 directly its worked perfectly. How the magic packets cab send to the AP from main router on the existing setup. Please support.

Note:- WOL is initiating from main router ASUS GT-AX11000 bcs the access point is working under mesh configuration.

How do you have the AC68U configured? Do you have the mode set as an access point? Do you have the uplink connected to a LAN port or the WAN port on the AC68U ? Have you tried it with Merlin firmware on the AC68U ?

You should use LAN port for uplink unless AC68U will convert its WAN port to an additional LAN port in AP mode.

Some models on the market will convert WAN port to LAN port in AP mode, but most models won't. In this case your are creating 2 networks in 2 different IP ranges called double NAT.

Did not find that AC68U will convert the WAN port to LAN port in AP mode
