Hi,
I am using a Win10 laptop and backup to a Synology DS216J. They are directly connected using a standard RJ45 cable.
I "Wake" the NAS box using Nirsoft's Wake-on-Lan software - all works well.
I have just upgraded to a Huawei b535-232 router; the latter has 4 Lan ports on it.
If I plug the NAS network cable into the Huawei, the WoL command doesn't work. If I reconnect to the Laptop, then I can WoL the NAS and then transfer the network cable to the Huawei and the laptop still sees it; it just won't WoL in that configuration. My aim was to be able to move the laptop whilst the NAS still remains connected through WiFi.
I don't know whether the issue is with the WoL software or some configuration on the Huawei router.
Any advice much appreciated.
Graham.
