I know this isn't necessarily Bitcoin related but I need help making Wake on LAN work so I can power my miner from afar should it turn off.

Here's what I've already done:

1) Forwarded ports 9 and 7 on my router. Both TCP and UDP.
2) Set Windows to allow the computer to be woken up.
3) Enabled Wake on Lan in my BIOS/UEFI
4) I'm using a wired connection

What am I missing? Every time I send a magic packet, nothing happens.

The motherboard is an Asrock 970 Extreme4, I'm using its onboard NIC which is a Realtek RTL8167 and my router is a Linksys EA2700. The guide I used is here: http://windows7-issues.blogspot.com/2011/03/wake-on-lan-wol-for-windows-7-made-easy.html
