It doesn't have a detachable antenna like the WHR-G54S, but who cares. The WHR-G54S is hard to find and not as fast as the WHR-G125, but you won't notice the difference I'm sure. I also run DD-WRT on an old WRT54G. Just get the cheap one and flash it. DD-WRT firmware is the best thing ever. Oh, try a local Circuit City (check online and do in-store pickup). Circuit City does not ship WHR-G54S anymore. Only a few stores still have them in stock. They will ship the WHR-G125 however. WHR-G125 is cheap and common.

I mainly use it as a switch now. I've moved on too greener pastures and use DD-WRT for a router. It kicks butt. Not having the lastest and greatest firmware could be a problem. Also, When I wanted to test and wake my computer via WAN/internet I use DSL Reports online utility. http://www.dslreports.com/wakeup Again, your firmware issue could be the culprit. Try using DSL reports online utility or try their forums for help. If it doesn't work, you should seriously consider getting a DD-WRT based router. It does everything and you can pick up a compatible router for real cheap, 25-40 bucks. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Sorry, it’s been a long time since I have used my Dlink.

I have made a firewall rule like you described and I have tried making a viritual server neither will work. It works fine over the LAN so I know it's nothing wrong with the computer I'm trying to wake up or the program I'm using. My firmware is V3.14 and the hardware is A1. The Swedish D-link website don't have a newer firmware and they don't even have H/W A1 in the list. I have one with H/W F1 and the lates firmware is also V3.14 (but mine is V3.11) so I hav'nt botherd to try it with that one. I found out on dlink.com that they have V2.20 for H/W A and V3.51 for H/V E but no H/W F... I have also scanned the traffic with Ethereal but I'm not realy good at understanding networking on that level so it did'nt say much to me. The magic packet that comes from the WAN is on the ARP protocol and the LAN packet is on the ECHO protocol. I guess both is UDP. Maybe it means someting?

I’m having problem with getting WOL to work with my DI-604 over the internet.
I have made a firewall rule like you described and I have tried making a viritual server neither will work.
It works fine over the LAN so I know it’s nothing wrong with the computer I’m trying to wake up or the program I’m using.
My firmware is V3.14 and the hardware is A1.
The Swedish D-link website don’t have a newer firmware and they don’t even have H/W A1 in the list.
I have one with H/W F1 and the lates firmware is also V3.14 (but mine is V3.11) so I hav’nt botherd to try it with that one.
