How to set up wake on lan? (complete beginner)
Thanks for your message. After checking, when you enter the DDNS address in TeamViewer, you should use the same format as you would in the router settings. The setup with multiple routers doesn’t require extra steps like port forwarding unless you need specific access from another device. Just ensure both devices are connected properly and the network configuration matches. Let me know if you need more details!
That's why I emphasized the need for a constantly connected device or component. As mentioned earlier, the signal must reach the PC. During my testing, I discovered that packets coming from outside the network often fail to transmit. Given my extensive experience with computers, I strongly suggest giving up on this approach. It’s simply too cumbersome. Plus, the power savings offered by PCs are sufficient for me to run them continuously 24/7.
If the PC is running and you're connecting from another device, it can affect how the system behaves or responds.
You'd need a solution that keeps your network connection active constantly. VPn or DDNS are possibilities. Hopefully, you've already installed the software on your PC during updates when your IP address changes. Then it should function properly if the correct address is set in Teamviewer. However, even then it remains uncertain whether it will work reliably. (It's also questionable on the same network.) It seems few people prioritize this issue. Support responsiveness is extremely poor. You might need someone who can physically access the PC you're trying to reach. But if you manage it, let us know how it went.
The core concept of DDNS involves your router refreshing the DDNS record each time your public IP address updates. This ensures your connection to yolo.dyndns.com always reflects your latest IP address.
In essence, you'd need to turn on port forwarding between the two routers. This way, when someone accesses port X from outside, it would be sent to the second router, which would then forward it to your PC. If the second router only serves as a simple bridge, direct access from the first router to your PC should work.
