Wake On LAN Stopped Working

I am using public address with duck DNS for TV WOL. It has worked fine for years but suddenly quit working. All of my other apps for waking my 2 computers work fine with duckdns. It's only TV that suddenly quit working. Doesn't matter if I use iOS TV app, PC TV app, or web management console. It just refuses to work anymore. I have the wake up button but it doesn't do anything. Please advise a solution.

Hi all,

I just wanted to inform you that we fixed this issue.

Wake on LAN should work again

Have a great day!

Hello Julia. Thanks for you reply.
I noticed TeamViewer update saying "Fixed a bug where UDP connections were not possible"

However, WOL is not yet fixed (no signal is sent through UDP)
Appreciate a second look into this!

P.S.: Wake on LAN works just fine on my PC with other solutions over a public domain

I always use WOL when I want to connect to my PC as I don't like to leave it on, and was getting pretty confused why it was no longer working until I found this thread. Glad to know it's not something I did.

I was wondering which 3rd party methods you use? I'd like to be able to wake my PC somehow until TV has resolved the issue

It depends on what device you are using when you try to wake your PC, ios - search app store for wake on lan and you will find lots of apps for wol, android search google play for wake on lan, windows - I use depicus http://bit.ly/2g9S3GG - they also have other tools for wake on lan.

I hope this helps.

From Shutdown it does not work (it used to)

From Sleep it is waking.

Thank You

I am also having the same problem. Wake on LAN use to work great, but it has not worked in the past few weeks. I have not made any setting changes to my network or computers. I can click the wake-up button, but nothing happens.... 01-13-2017

The same for me.... :-(

It must be region based. I am located in the northwest and since the original fix I have not had any issues at all. I'm sure TV is aware and working on the fix in your area. What is your location as knowing that might help others?

I am in Seattle, WA. so not sure it is location based.

Still having this problem. I have WOL working on my mac with another app so it is working but Teamviewer seems to not have the button and not wake up the computer.

Please help.
