Enable automatic WOL when accessing ports.
Hi Patrick,
I see you're looking to make your Netgear R7000 more responsive for Plex on connected devices. Since you're open to firmware updates and still have good VPN support, here are some options:
1. **Enable Wake on LAN (WOL)** – Check your router's settings to ensure it supports WOL and is configured to wake devices when the network is active.
2. **Use a Power Management Feature** – Some routers allow you to set a wake-up time or schedule for devices.
3. **Configure Plex to Use a Gateway** – Make sure Plex is set up to communicate through your router, possibly using a static IP or DHCP with proper DNS settings.
4. **Check Router Firmware** – Updating your router's firmware might improve compatibility and features like WOL.
If you need more detailed steps for your specific router model, let me know the brand and version!
Best of luck with your setup.
