Have got a new TP LINK C2, but cannot wake PC remotely via Internet. Please guide me through it

 

 

I have tried opening up the ports, but it will not allow me to use 192.168.0.255 as an IP Address, I followed this http://www.howtogeek.com/192642/how-to-remotely-turn-on-your-pc-over-the-internet/

Many consumer network devices simply won't let you use .255. Try changing it to .254 or lower instead.

It says its gotta be within the valid IP Addresses, so I'm thinking only the IP Addresses in the DHCP Table

Are you trying to port forward? Is that what isn't accepting the IP? If so, you should easily be able to port forward IP's outside of the DHCP Table (Unless the router's firmware sucks).

 

However, you could always assign it DHCP, then reserve the IP Address in the DHCP Table and try again.

Yes, I am trying to Port Forward, and it will not allow outside the table. I will try that now

I don't think I can, need a MAC Address

Bizzare. I've never used a router that forced you to use the DHCP Table for port forwarding.
