Routers that will send wake on lan?
Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2007 1:28 am
I was thinking about the posts I see for people wanting to put together
low power "always on" servers. And thinking about ways to get around the "always on" part.
Got me to wondering if there are home routers that will send a wake up call to the server if it doesn't respond. (Thinking of inbound traffic here - local machines could send their own wake up call to turn on a home server.)
No reason for the server to be on all the time, when the routers have to be on all the time, and usually are low power to start with.
