Reboot LAN PC Remotely from TP-Link Router

2020-01-06 20:34:06

Model: Archer AX6000

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.0.6

Hi All,

I have an AX router. I wanted to know if anyone knows how to restart a PC that is connected to the router from a remote location? I can remote manage the TP-Link router over SSL but want to reboot a PC that is actively connected from the TP-Link router itself. Does anyone know how to do this? Does anyone know how to do this via a Magic packet WoL? Does anyone know how to request this feature to be created in the TP-Link firmware/interface? Please let me know whenever you get a chance. I want to do this because every time I install a new VPN service provider client software and try to connect, it kills my remote connection to that computer like if a kill switch became enabled. I then have to physically go home and restart the computer instead of being able to do it remotely from work.

Happy New Year!

@CyberNinja15

Hello, does the remote laptop support WOL? Try to enable the WOL feature on the particular laptop first.

Then you can reserve an IP address for the 2 computers under DHCP server- address reservation page and then please enable the IP&MAC binding.

After that, you can try to send the magic packet ( internet IP + port number) from an external device and verify whether it works.

Good day.

Hi Kevin. Thanks for replying.

My computers have WoL enabled. The issue I am trying to resolve is when I lose remote connection to the PC. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to get my work PC to send a windows reboot command via magic packet to my router which will then forward it to my Windows PC at home to perform the reboot? Does that make sense?
