DSM 7.1 Remote Wake on Lan no longer working on 7.1.1?

[Gerard]

I am currently running DSM 7.1.1 update 1. Today one of my locations had a power outage. I attempted to wake the nas using a WOL app and it's not working. The configuration is using the public ddns name, port forward of a wol udp port. This has worked in the past, but haven't used it in sometime. I'm just posing the question here to see if maybe somewhere along the lines it broke in a dsm update?

WOL will not work following a power outage, but only when the NAS has experienced a normal shutdown.

I did shutdown to test. My first problem once I got back home, I in fact did not have the port forward on the router. I added the rule tested again didn’t work. I then updated from 7.1.1 update 1 to update 3, tested again and it worked. Really weird. To test I used a wol app on my phone, not on wifi (local worked fine).

Hi @Gerard

Are you forwarding UDP 7 and 9? If not, try both and if it works alternate to see which one works.

Only 9. It’s working now since I updated to 7.1.1 update 3. I’ll let it go a few days/weeks and try again.

Great. Alternatively, if both of your NAS devices are on the same network, you can VPN to one and wake the other.

They both sit on two different networks, and they both host the vpn server, so if they’re offline vpn is down too.

Have had issues with DS FINDER, not doing WOL, but DS ROUTER always works... Cannot reply to after power fail, as all are on UPS & Generator. no VPN here.
