wol

I'm looking for a new WiFi router, and one key feature for me is WOL. Seems like many routers won't do this w/ factory firmware.

Given my last router (Asus WL-520g) turned into a disco-brick couple hours after flashed to dd-wrt I'd prefer if the new one supported WOL out-of-the-box.

other required features would be:

dyndns service support
port forwarding
sometimes it is called "virtual server" I guess
NAT loopback
so I can access services running in my own network using dyndns hostname or public IP w/o getting too old (for example DIR-615 with factory firmware lets you wait literally minutes)
did I mention WiFi?
preferably w/ some range extending technology, if such stuff works at all
