Wireless wake on lan suddenly stopped working

[lexvo]

The past few months, wireless wake on lan worked perfectly. I used to wake up my iMac with the Remote app on my iPhone to play music on my stereo.

However, since 2-3 weeks I can't wake up my iMac wireless anymore. I tried:
- restarting my Airport Extreme
- checked the things described on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3774
- turn on iTunes library sharing

But this all doesn't seem to help. Am I overlooking something?

Could it have something to do with a recent software update (iTunes, Remote, ...)?

Well, after trying several other things like resetting PRAM/NVRAM, SMC reset, switching off/on Extreme, it looks like I found a solution.

I decided to bite the bullet and did a complete reset of my Airport Extreme and configured my network again from scratch. Wireless wake on lan is working great now.

[Rant] One of the reasons I switched from Windows to Apple was to avoid these kind of reinstalling/deleting/configuring/rebooting/etc.. actions 😡 [/Rant]

Oh well, everything is working again 🙂
