Hi everyone,
I'm reaching out for help with a Wake on LAN configuration that's driving me crazy. I'm relatively new to DD-WRT (been using it for just a few days), and my knowledge is quite limited.
Here's my specific issue:

WoL works perfectly when I send the magic packet via SSH
WoL fails when sending from Home Assistant (which is on VLAN1) to a target device on VLAN3
On the original Netgear firmware, this worked seamlessly when both devices were on the same subnet

I've attempted numerous configurations:

Multiple router restarts
Added various firewall and routing rules
Consulted AI assistance multiple times

To be honest, I'm struggling to even describe all the steps I've taken. I've been blindly following various AI-suggested solutions because I couldn't find a specific helpful forum thread. I've implemented so many different configurations that I've lost track of what exactly I've tried.
Despite these efforts, I cannot get WoL to work across VLANs. I've spent hours troubleshooting and I'm completely frustrated.
This is my first time posting on a technical forum, so I'm hoping for understanding.
