Anyone know how to WOW OR WOL a SYNOLOGY NAS drive with the HUB4? I can WOL over my local network but have no luck over the internet. From my reading it appears that the SuperHub is the problem?

Have you set up a port forwarding rule?

Are you clear on how to do so?

See here;

From memory port 7 or 9 and it’ll be UDP

I know a bit about Wi-Fi, Telecoms, and TV as I used to do it for a living but I'm not perfect so don't beat me up... If you make things you make mistakes!

Will the SH4 let you port forward to a broadcast address?

BTW: From a security perspective, I think this is a really bad idea. I'd set up a device that runs a web API with  some authentication on it and port forward to that. Have a successful authenticated request to that API generate the WOL packet on your local network.
