Ik heb ook een linksys router, kan ik dit ook toepassen en hoe dan? Of heeft dit helemaal geen nut.
Basically, WakeOnLan uses broadcast technology to send a 'magic packet' to all computers on the LAN. This packet contains the unique MAC address of the LAN card belonging to the PC you wish to turn on. Some forums/blogs suggest port forwarding or port triggering to a specific IP address but neither work on the WRT54G. As the server will not have an IP address if it is not switched on (as the O/S configures this) you cannot port forward in the usual manner. It is possible to port forward to ALL PCs. However, when using the default subnet of 255.255.255.0 the WRT54G does not allow port forwarding to the broadcast address, xxx.xxx.xxx.255. The web interface simply won't allow you to enter xxx.xxx.xxx.255 as a destination IP address.

Configuring the router
Fortunately I found this blog n01getsout.com which provided the solution. In the Linksys web configuration, you have to specify the subnet for the LAN DHCP pool as 255.255.255.128. You then configure the port forward (on any port, 5850 was one suggestion of a free port) to forward to xxx.xxx.xxx.127 which will forward the magic packet to all PCs on the network. The MAC address within the packet ensures that only that the specified PC turns on. Note: the WakeOnLan packet is not port specific so the destination port does not actually matter.
