What router can port forward to a broadcast address???

Can anyone say which router brand can do port-forwarding to a broadcast
address?

My application is that I would like to use Wake-On-Lan which looks for a
broadcast packet which then contains the mac address as a payload of the PC
you desire to turn ON.

My Zyxel X-550 cannot port-forward (Port 9, I think) to a broadcast address
(192.168.x.255)

I'm looking for a router or solution that can help with this WOL
wake-on-lan feature built into my PC?

Thanks

Worth trying but doesn't work with all routers. (Works with
everything I own).

The topic comes up ocassionally. These threads contain user WOL
experiences with various pieces of hardware.
