Hello everyone! I am trying to set up Wake On LAN on port 9, and it works perfectly locally.
Now what really is my issue is that when it goes remote/outside the network, .....is where it inevitably dies in a pit of unholy fire.
Before you read what I have to say without ANY MISTAKES:
-My PC is DEFINITELY fully configured to work with Wake on LAN, and have spent nearly 3 hours like a OCD manic double checking every setting in BIOS, Device Manager, and Firewall etc. And REMEBER! It worked through port 9 LOCALLY!!!!
-My router is a EA7500 AC1900. It may be a UNSUPPORTED device, but again. The WAKE ON LAN packet can be sent perfectly on the LOCAL network. And yes! I tried port forwarding 7 AND 9!
-What I suspect as the culprit is either something on Sonic's end, a broken ONT, or I need to get back a stock Sonic router, which I WILL do if required, but this would be highly unlikely, and you can find out below.
Basically, I got wake on LAN to work without fail on the local network with port 9 enabled. Port 7 as well. But when I went outside of the network and sent a packet through Sonic to my Router, it failed. I asked Sonic if they can manually adjust the "port" on their modem because I don't know what the modem for it even was, and they replied that it has to be my router's fault, because it was enabled. And I would later find out the ONT is the literal modem. So then I talked to my router manufacturer and tested ports 7 and 9, and came up with "Ports Closed" with both the router's Ethernet and the Ethernet cable coming from the ONT. Restarting said ONT came up empty. Linksys says the IP is not public, and something is blocking it because of a Double NAT, then proceeded to ask me to ask Sonic to enable Full Bridge Mode on the ONT. Then I called Sonic to troubleshoot the ONT and help me figure out why the heck was both the ONT and Router blocking my port forward, and he said that the ONT "checked out fine", and did the same thing four times. Each time, port forwarding would fail on port 7 and 9. Both router and ONT directly. I used http://canyouseeme.org/ to check for every time if the port forward went through. Eventually the tech gave up and told me to post here.
What I really want to know also as a side note, is that if the ONT is directly connected to a device, and tested on http://canyouseeme.org/ , would the port show up as open? Because the ONT is meant to let all ports EXCEPT PORT 25 though from what I gathered from the agent.
