So, there are a series of switches (in BIOS and in windows device manager) that all have to be set/unset, for a computer to resume from some event Again this is also a setting which can be disabled in most BIOS configurations and yours probably is.īy the way, Windows' task scheduler exposes this option to everyone so you can set your computer to wake up and run some script and then sleep again (I used to do this all the time ages ago for night downloads, etc.) It is available only on certain classes of devices.Īlso what you are referring to as an application's capability (Foobar.) to wake a computer (from sleep or hibernation only) it most probably has to do with setting an RTC (real-time clock) alarm and the computer being allowed to resume from such an event. Rock solid since.įor a device to be able to wake a Windows system, it has to be allowed both in the BIOS and also in Windows's device manager (In the "power management" tab on a device, the checkbox on "Allow this device to wake the computer" has to be set/unset).
Until I switched the BT Business Hub into a dumb modem and put a cheap ER-x in front. Most recent example was I was having infuriating issues with Ubiquiti's AP guest portal. The DNS interception rubbish breaks stuff. The automatic channel setting for the WiFi channels is a total dice roll. It may or may not completely ruin your Sky Q system's reliability if you have more than one box (although I generally advocate wiring them in completely and disabling all wireless functionality anyway). (I've had one do it twice in three years, to the point where I now save the config.) Your device may or may not just randomly factory reset itself.
"Smart setup" sometimes breaks stuff, especially IoT stuff. You can shake it out of that by pinging the device from the router's diag tools, or power cycling the router resolves the issue. Static devices (as opposed to DHCP reservations) will just (seemingly) randomly stop working with port forwarding, as the router just forgets the device. I don't regret the purchase at all, however I don't think I could feel safe in randomly recommending it to anybody except the most tech savy of my tech savy friends. The wiki has an example of just about everything once but even that was far from comprehensive when there are 20+ different options and you don't know what they mean and the example on the wiki picks just one of them and doesn't explain why they chose that one. The community also seemed pretty elitist, I went through many forum posts about people with similar setup questions and/or problems as myself and fairly often they got simply berated when they didn't understand what a certain setting actually did or didn't understand exactly what people were having them input through a 30 item terminal command. Although if it is just a single router typical home setup most people could just use a default setup and make it work. I got a MikroTik router just a few months ago and it does run great, has anything you could want under the sun, and it was even cheap! But like you said, it is very advanced, and as a network noob I probably spent 12 hours configuring it to do everything I wanted despite considering myself pretty tech savy, and don't even know exactly what I did to make it work as I wanted.
