First up: The Receiver has no permanent storage. It has no way of remembering stuff between hard power cycles (i.e. removing the cable).
Well, it may not use the 512KB Flash ROM to store stuff across boots with the current client software, but it could. That Flash storage is non-volatile.
Further, if the Rio is in fact waking the host PC but doesn't know the MAC address of said PC, then it must be sending a broadcast WOL "magic" packet to
all PCs on the net. As far as I know, there is no such magic packet. The packet is in fact sent as a "broadcast," but contains the MAC (hardware) address of exactly one NIC.
So does the Receiver really send a WOL/magic packet at all? I'm starting to wonder about the validity of that claim.
In reply to:
Turn it [WOL] off on the PC.
No. I don't want to disable the PC's ability to Wake On LAN. I use it to manually wake that PC from across the network. I just don't want the Receiver waking that PC.
