We have recently connected the NBN to a house we are building, so I have the modem and an old (~2007) iMac in the house, connected by ethernet. Because we aren't living there I turn both computer and modem off most of the time. Right from the start I noticed that if I turned the modem on first the iMac booted itself up without being touched. OK, I can accept that. But one day I reached out to turn on the modem, changed my mind and didn't touch it, but the iMac booted anyway. The next time I was on site I tried an experiment, and just walked over to the modem and waved my hand in front of it. Sure enough, the iMac booted. Yesterday I got Geoff to try (in case I had a high static charge and it was me doing it). He never even got to wave his hand - he just walked briskly over to the modem and the iMac booted! It does seem to be associated with the modem - I can go to the desk and sit in front of the iMac and nothing happens unless I get close to the modem. Any ideas?
