Hello,  
I have installed the following extension in Flint 1800.  
But where can I find this extension in the router interface?

Package: wakeonlan  
Version: 0.41-1  
Depends: libc, perl, perlbase-getopt, perlbase-net, perlbase-socket  
Status: install user installed  
Section: net  
Architecture: all  
Size: 3313  
Filename: wakeonlan\_0.41-1\_all.ipk  
Description: With this package you can remotely wake up and power on machines which have motherboards or network cards that support ‘Wake-on-Lan’ packets. . The tool allows you to wake up a single machine, or a group of machines. . You need the MAC addresses of machines to construct the WOL packets, but, in contrast to ‘etherwake’, you do not need root privileges to use the program itself as UDP packets are used.

There is no interface for it, it’s just a CLI program.

> You have to install etherwake package: https://openwrt.org/packages/pkgdata/etherwake Then use command to wake your device: /usr/bin/etherwake -D -i "br-lan" -b "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" stands for mac address of your device

Try this one: [[OpenWrt Wiki] package: luci-app-wol](https://openwrt.org/packages/pkgdata/luci-app-wol)
