Not so much strangle, but lose....
For reliable WoL you might need to add an static entry (mapping MAC to
IP address) in the routers ARP table. Getting to that depends on how
locked down these settings are, or hidden in CLI.
e.g.
Wake on LAN From Internet Using a Thomson Router

What otherwise happens is the computer powers off, the dynamic ARP entry
normally created on a lease is lost and then nothing wakes.
