I'm pretty much certain that you can't make it work across the WAN with the Superhub now - that may be down to a change or it could be (as I've seen suggested) that it will work but only for a very limited time after the device sleeps and when I tried it I hadn't let the device sit sleeping long enough for the failure to be obvious to me.

It works just fine from the LAN or WAN with a VMNG300 and my router running the Tomato firmware (no port forwarding etc. required) - you could probably put the Superhub in modem mode and use a router which supports it as I don't see the modem section of the Superhub blocking the magic packet in any way.
