Linksys BEFW11S4 & NetGear FR314 - Network Timeout

[norcold1]

I have the NetGear FR314 set as my firewall connected to my dsl modem. I then have the Linksys BEFW11S4 connected to the NetGear Port 4. I then use a linksys wireless card to access my linksys wap. Everything runs ok currently.

The problem occurs when i let everything sit overnight. I shut off my computers but leave both the routers and dsl modem on. I have the Netgear set to disable my net connection after 90 mins. So, when I try to get on using my wifi card in the morning no connection. However, if I boot up a computer that is attached locally to the netgear, it restores my dsl connection and everything is ok.

My question is...how can I get the netgear to recognize the "wake-up" signal from my linksys? I thought that if the wap received a signal from my laptop, it would pass this onto the netgear, and the netgear would open the connection. Does the linksys not pass the right kind of signal to the netgear to cause it to wake-up?

Any thoughts are welcomed.

Below is a crude representation of my network.


DSL -> NETGEAR -> Linksys WAP -> WIFI CARD
-> LOCAL COMPUTER

its supposed to recognize your WOL, hmmm i would suggest try to visit www.linksys.com i bet they have some work around on that matter

Try first by opening up the access point to use DHCP. Secondly after you boot up the computer with the Wireless card try and give a "wake up call" to the router by trying to ping the router or better still by pinging any website on the Internet such as www.yahoo.com.
