### Using the Broadcast address for wake on LAN

Finally, another reddit post reported that the wake on LAN packet was not being sent due to the router forgetting the IP address, this shouldnt happen as my PC was set to static in the router settings. However you can broadcast it to everything on the network at ```255.255.255.255```.
