You've just proven my point with your quotes. The router acts as a network hub which means that all devices connected to it (eg. in a home network) are under the same subnet, otherwise these devices cannot communicate with each other. I just gave you links in which wireless routers have the ability to allow magic packets to be sent (thru broadcast) to WOL enabled computers. Why would they create such routers if it cannot be done. Furthermore, they also developed a wireless network card with WOL capabilities which means that it doesn't have to be connected physically to a router or a network hub to wake.
If you're going to prove me wrong you have to do better than just copy and pasting quotes which only explains WOL. Computers doesn't have to be wired to be in the same subnet.

eg. my desktop (directly connected to the wireless router) has an IP 192.168.1.111 subnet 255.255.255.0

my other computers (wifi hub) have 192.168.1.10x and same subnet
Axim has 192.168.1.104 same subnet
How does that differ from your example above?
