Got a Netgear WPN824N router and am able to Telnet into it, finally. I have very liittle knowledge of Linux and the commands and such. Anyway I tried adding a static ARP entry using the arp command like this

arp -i br0 192.168.1.x 00:00:00:00:00:00

However that didn't work. I am trying to get WOL to work over WAN and read that this was the only way to do it.

I was reading that I should add it to the ect/ethers file but I don't see that file nor know how to add it. Here is what is in that dir.
