    Looking for a new router that will allow WOL over the internet

    As per the title.

    My old Belkin router used to do Wake on LAN fine over the internet, provided I forwarded the right ports etc.

    Since Virgin sent me the new SuperHub 2, I can't do this anymore as their router doesn't support it.
    I think what I need to do is to switch the SuperHub over to Modem mode, and then connect a separate router which supports the Wake on LAN function over the internet.

    I don't want to use my old Belkin as it's only 10/100 and I'd like to stick with Gigabit ports now.

    Anyone know of a router which would support this configuration? I've googled around and the ones which seem to come up a lot are Asus ones which are pretty pricey tbh.
