Hello all! I managed to get wake on wan working on my PC. I works great, there is just one problem. About 75% of the time when I power my PC down, it immediately powers back on. I can't seem to figure out what is causing the issue. Any suggestions? I'm running DD-WRT on my Nighthawk R7000, Windows 10, and my motherboard is the MSI Z97 Gaming 5. I don't have any funky settings put in place. Enabled wake on lan in the bios, and in windows 10. I forwarded the proper port to my computers static IP. That's about it. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Disabling wake on lan would fix the problem, but I want to use wake on lan. I want to be able to use it without my computer waking immediately after shutting down.

You have wake on lan set within the time slot you are shutting your computer down so it wakes it up. So have it only set to turn on at your times you want it to turn on and when you usually shut your computer down have wake on lan set to not be working at that time.
