Netgear r6700v3

Was on 11-29-2021-r47695 but, just updated and have the same issue with 12-04-2021-r47745.

I'm not sure it matters to have the fields sitting there or not but, it's bugging me that I can't clear them.

With that, is there a way to clear out these fields without resetting the whole thing to default again?

Some commands to clear out that part of the nvram, perhaps?

A screenshot of what you are referring to might help us help you better. AFAIK you cannot remove the available hosts information, if that is what you are asking. The webUI should have a remove feature to remove any WOL hosts you have configured. Also, manual WOL input box should clear if you clear your cache or CTRL+F5. If not, then that is something in the webUI that can't be changed, just like the commands box. It shouldn't remain if you close the browser, clear cache, and re-login to webUI.

No, not referring to the available hosts information. Attaching Screenshot.

I tried clearing it in a new browser after clearing all cache and logging back in again. Doesn't seem like it can be cleared. I can add another MAC, IP and Port but, then that persists too.

Check the output via ssh/telnet here:
Code:
root@TL-WR1043NDv2:~# nvram show | grep wol | sort

If the information matches the webUI for any of those vars, perhaps you can do an 'nvram unset' and then 'nvram commit'. Otherwise, it's obviously something persistent in the webUI that cannot be changed, unless it's a regression introduced by all of the webUI enhancements.

Thank you! I think that did it. It's cleared out on the WebGUI now.

Do I need to (re)set those variables, just with blank values this time? Or will they be set on their own the next time I run Manual WOL in the WebGUI?

I assume they'll be set/populated with the GUI again next time I run it but, thought I better ask, just in case.

They should set themselves next time in the webUI or possibly on reboot. You shouldn't need to reset them with blank variables, necessarily. I think that is just the nature of this feature, that you can't remove that information without clearing out the nvram variables manually.

That's fine. I think the "problem" is that the WebGUI won't allow you to click the Manual Wake Up button without entering a valid MAC address and I assume that's the case for other two fields as well. It pops up an alert, so one can't leave those fields blank once values have been set and you can't make use of the button, since it requires valid values.

Clearing out the field manually and using the save and or apply (instead of the Manual Wake Up button) doesn't do anything either. So it is what it is.

Anyway, thanks again for your help!

P.s. I'll try to remember this is Linux and I can nvram show and grep things lol.

Glad to be of help, and good to know about this quirk so others can find this thread if they run into it. Maybe this will be fixed in future releases, maybe not. Knowing is half the battle Cool
