TP-Link Archer AX55 Pro as WireGuard client for remote LAN access and Wake-on-LAN?
Hi everyone,
I’m considering buying the TP-Link Archer AX55 Pro and I have a question about using it as a WireGuard client.
Current setup:
- I already have a WireGuard server running at my father’s house.
- At my own house, I would install the AX55 Pro.
- I want the AX55 Pro to connect as a WireGuard client to that remote server and keep the tunnel always connected.
My goal:
When I’m away from home (for example at my father’s house or on mobile data), I want to access my home LAN remotely through the WireGuard tunnel and send Wake-on-LAN (WoL) packets to wake up PCs inside my network.
Questions:
- Does the AX55 Pro work reliably as a WireGuard client in this scenario?
- Can devices from the remote side access the home LAN correctly through the tunnel?
- Has anyone successfully used Wake-on-LAN through this setup?
- Does the router properly forward WoL/broadcast packets to the LAN?
Thanks!
