I've currently taken a bit of a break from aMPdroid because a) I don't have much spare-time and b) I spent way to much time on it before the last months ;) Development will go on, but not at such a high pace.

:D

You do that, you deserve it.
Thx for the work so far, aMPdroid works so it can be used, and that is enough for me until you find the time, and motivation to take it up again. Enjoy life while you can :D
Perhaps oxan manage to find the problem with the Galaxy TAB during your break.

    Could not get it to work because my Linksys 160N router will not allow me to save the adress 192.168.1.255 that is needed to forward to.

    Do you know of any 802.11N router that do allow this and do work with WOL over WAN?
    Other solution could be a router with a edit function of the ARP table.

    Can't you change the address where you want to point to WOL to?
    Instead of 192.168.1.255 use 192.168.1.100 (for example).

    Or maybe it's not the last 255 that is the problem? I'm just assuming that's the problem since I've had the same problem with a Netgear router some years ago.

    A friend who is a network expert told me the solution on a consumer router Would be to forward to the 255 (broadcast) address because it is not possible to edit the ARP table directly in this router. The problem with other workarounds should be that the arp table is deleted the computer have entered standby. It is different how long it takes for the arp reg. To be cleared. I am no expert, but it is What I was told.

    I'm not an expert, but I think the address is static in the way that it is pointing to a specific device (computer, remote, phone, other router, etc.). Are you certain that you understood your friend correctly (and that he understood you)?

    I mean, why would you want to broadcast a WOL to more computers at once? Perhaps there are situations where you would like to, but most common is to wake up once single device I would think.

    So my argument is, instead of "broadcasting" to 255, set the address to the address of the device you want to wake up. Oh, and don't make the address of that device end at 255 either. ;)

    Just tested today and it does definetly not remember the MAC in ARP table for more than 5 minutes. It is only working for about 5 Minutes after suspend. Please tell me if you know of a router that is up for the job. I prefer a 802.11n one :).

    Also check out this page for the custom software for some routers. This can do the job by editing ARP table. Wake-on-LAN (tutorial) - DD-WRT Wiki

    Check the example under the headline "Remote Wake On LAN via Port Forwarding"
