#Wake on LAN doesn't work even though from another Android app PC wakes up

So I've been struggling to wake up my Win11 PC using HA. I've tried broadcast IP and port combinations I could think of, but no luck. WoL addon provides just 2 fields - broadcast address and port. I have them now as my local PC IP (192.168.1.10) and port 7

On Android I have an app, which also has a third field - device IP. So with device 192.168.1.10, broadcast 192.168.1.255 (tried this one as broadcast IP on HA too) and port 7 it wakes up my PC (while I'm home and connected to local network). HA is on TrueNAS Scale also on my local network 192.168.1.11, but when I press the button, it doesn't wake

Interestingly enough, with Wake on LAN Monitor app for Windows, when I press, I get the message (see image)

Any advice?

Unless there are some firewalls or other config blocking, it should be sufficient to only specify the MAC address of the computer and that would be it.

Probably your NAS is blocking these kind of things

Ah, sorry I forgot to mention I crossposted this to the forum too (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/wake-on-lan-doesnt-work-even-though-from-another-android-app-pc-wakes-up/921162) 😕 I found this topic (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/wake-on-lan-wol-from-docker-truenas-scale/402824/4) also mentioning TrueNAS, but I'm not sure in my case how to address this

Wake On Lan (WOL) from Docker (Truenas Scale)

Since my Router (Fritzbox 7490) is able to WOL computers as well … is there maybe a way to send the command to the router api and let it handle the call if I can not execute on my host nas system? I looked at the Integration (AVM FRITZ!Box Tools - Home Assistant) but it does not mention WOL …
