Comment on Is it possible to make WoL unicast work indefinitely?

The most straight-forward method would be to buy a standalone switch. I have a TP-LINK TL-SG108 8-port gigabit switch and it seems to retain the ARP table indefinitely.
My previous solution was an ESP32 board with an SSH server and a relay, wired parallel with the power switch, that would be closed by an output pin on command.

I’ll look into my options regarding a different switch or router, thanks.
However your solution with the ESP32 would require me to manually trigger the boot, no? At that point I can just use the magic packet, which works fine already.
