NB, I have seen more that one product refereed to as Powerline. Which one are you using that has built in Surge protection? Thanks.

Hi Shredder, sorry for the delay in replying here. Did you find the answer to your question about built-in surge protection? As far as I am aware, all powerline networking products have this feature (even the first-gen ones)...

....got the answer NB, you are correct...thanks.

Just had some good news from Slim Devices stating that the problem with the SB3 not sending out the correct "magic packet" to perform Wake-on-LAN will be fixed in SlimServer version 7.0.1. Woo hoo!!

Looks like a there is a fix for WOL over Powerline.

I guess you need latest SC7. I'm on SS 6.5.5.

Could someone verify that this works with Powerline, please?

Kind Regards

I use two Netgear XE104 boxes. The full network path is:
[SB3] -air- <linksys wrt54g> -wire- <3Com 3c585> -wire- <XE104> -powerline- <EX104> -wire- [Server]

Server is running SqueezeCenter Version: 7.0 - 16093 - Red Hat

I can power up the server, but with a problem (described by me in this thread http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36430). I assume that is another issue.

I'm using Solwise Powerline. It works. I had teething.
It's the 7.0.1 beta that works.
If no WOL on first attempt, check that your squeezeboxes are using the correct MAC for the squeezecenter. Hold power on remote, scroll down to Current Settings, right to select, then down to 10 of 16 for the squeezecenter MAC address, right to edit.
Works perfectly for me.
Thanks to all. (FYI - SC on a WinXP box with Broadcom ethernet marked allow this device to WOL and wake on magic packet.)

Great, thanks for your reply.
