Linksys Velop

Will this device support wake-on-lan function like Apple devices did? I want it to wake up my Mac when I need to access my iTunes library.

null-OTHER, iOS 11.3

I am only aware of two methods to get WoL functionality from a remote WoL application to a local network device:

  1. By configuring port mapping/forwarding to a broadcast address on a local network, or
  2. Some router models have WoL functionality built-in that does most of this mapping "automatically."


What I can confirm about the Linksys Velop is that it can support item #1 above. What I can't is, whether or not, it provides built-in WoL functionality. The user guide I referenced does not indicate to me that it does ... but this is where you will need to contact Linksys support to find out one way or the other. Good luck!

You have posted your question on a support site for the Apple routers.....the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule.....products that you see below:

It is unlikely that someone on an Apple AirPort support forum will be up to speed on a Linksys product, but I suppose that anything is possible, and you can wait to see if anyone might respond to your question.


On the other hand, you will likely receive a much faster and more informed answer on a question involving a Linksys product if you post your question on a support site for Linksys products. The link is just below:
