Wake on lan

[Lee 212]

Would it be possible to access the roku app from outside the network (as the roku is always on) to send a magic packet on the internal lan to wake the server? (my router is sh*t and I can't wake on WAN)...

I would like the roku to send a wake on lan signal from within the network. All the other apps like the windows 8.1 app and MBC seem to do it but not the roku.

FYI, there is a private Roku channel that will send a magic packet and wake up a computer on your LAN:

Hi.

Reviving this thread - as I finally have the other 24/7 services off my main server and I am ready to have it go to sleep to save some of that 24/7 power.  I cant get either of the roku emby apps to wake the main PC up.  Is there something that I have to setup ?

 

Thanks,

Thanks for reporting back.  Can you elaborate on why it wasn't working for you at first to help someone else down the line?

Hi Ebr,

 

I think it was my server not being setup correctly in the bios from memory.
