Model: Archer BE230  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.2.1

Hello,

 

I used to be able to wake my system via WOL using another brand’s mobile app even when I wasn’t at home. The Tether app provides a similar remote control interface, but I couldn’t find any WOL screen or option. It’s a feature I use frequently, and I prefer not to (and actually can’t) rely on third-party apps. When I’m on long trips, it was nice to be able to turn on my system and use Steam Link for entertainment.

  @Astiva The Archer BE230’s Tether app currently doesn’t expose a WOL (Wake-on-LAN) option, which is why you can’t find it. WOL usually requires either a dedicated WOL section in the app or access via the web interface/firmware settings. You might still be able to enable WOL through the router’s web admin panel under Advanced > LAN > WOL and use a compatible remote WOL tool, but the Tether app itself doesn’t support remote WOL at this time. It’s worth submitting this as a feature request so future updates could add it.

  @EmmaJohnson234 Thanks for your reply. I'm really disappointed that this isn't available yet, and there's no WOL setting in the web admin panel either. How can I request a feature?

Hi,

 

You can request new features here: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/147

 

By the way, what's really funny is that TP-Link has already published an article that illustrates how to use the WoL feature you are asking for, even though none of their Tether-compatible routers supports this feature yet.  laugh      https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/faq/4532/

  @woozle Yes, it's definitely a funny situation. When I first saw this and realized there was no setting, I opened this thread to ask for help. I thought it was a personal situation gülmek
