WOL (wake-on-LAN) is tricky as there are many variables to deal with... network adapters, drivers, operating systems, motherboards, etc, and all the stars have to line up just right for it to actually work. Tomato UI allows you to execute a WOL command towards any of the clients that are connected to it, but again, it's not guaranteed that a given client will respond to it. I don't recall what the factory firmware has in that department.

Also: what about all the Asus Ai-cloud stuff? played with them any?
Not me. I flashed it with Tomato the first day I got it.

I might have to contact you for more info on that FTTP stuff.
For FTP, I actually installed FileZilla FTP Server on one of my PCs that was on 24x7. But I know the FTP Server option is also built in there in some Tomato versions and Asus AiCloud kind of does the same thing, plus they have associated apps for your smartphone that work with it, so it might be the easiest to configure and use.
