If you have a NetGear WNDR4500, do NOT upgrade to firmware .18
Apparently NetGear messed up and the firmware causes the router to spew out WOL packets every 5 minutes.
Even worse, apparently some NIC/system boards (Mine's an ASUS) completely ignore the BIOS setting to disable WOL (you can disable it, and the darn thing still responds to a WOL anyway).
I thought my PC was haunted because a few minutes after I'd turn it off, it'd come back on.
