Hello all, recently switched over from pfSense and have kinda ran into a wall. I'm having issues with WOL. I installed the WOL plugin (os-wol) version 2.4_1

My OPNsense Box: HP t730 Th​in Client ​PC with an I350-T4V2 running OPNsense 22.1.10-amd64
My Desktop Mobo: ROG MAXIMUS XI HERO (WI-FI) 90MB0XR0-M0EAY0
My Interfaces: LAN-igb0 WAN-igb1
I ensured Magic Packet is enabled in Windows and ensured it is also enabled on BIOS.

The LAN port then feeds into a TP Link switch (TL-SG1008P) and my PC is then ran with a standard cat 6 cable.

I've used Wireshark to verify that no WOL packet is being sent.
I've used the WOL plugin under services. Typed my MAC, ensured that it is entered correctly. Tried using shell and typing "sudo wake igb0/igb1/re0 04:d4:c4:XX:XX:XX" all separate respectively as I was moving my PC across the different ports, I also put X's in this post to "protect?" my MAC but used my actual MAC when running the commands.
I've tried swapping my LAN and WAN ports on my intel card.
I've tried taking the switch out and running my LAN port directly to my PC.
I even tried using the onboard realtek nic running directly to my PC as well.
I found this thread: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=9220.0 and added a static arp for using
"arp -S 192.168.10.254 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff" and then sent a WOL from OPNsense and still nothing on WireShark but OPNsense gave me an "Error(1)" when I tried to send a WOL packet from the GUI.

Finally I wanted to ensure that my ethernet port on my mobo wasn't the issue or anything else. I had a spare Netgear Router (R6330) and plugged my PC directly into it and connected my phone to the WiFi and sent a WOL Packet from it and it showed up on WireShark. I then hooked my switch up to the router and hooked my PC into the switch and tried sending another WOL packet from my phone and it came through without issue on my PC, verified with WireShark.

I'm open to suggestions, also if more information is needed just let me know.

Overall right now this is a 100% fresh install of OPNsense with the os-wol plugin installed and all updates ran. No other modifications have been made to the system(I reinstalled OPNsense after adding the static ARP entry and the new interface trying the realtek nic just incase that would cause me issues)

Thank you in advance
