Newbie question: is there any WoL step by step?

Community Playground Getting Started & Initial Setup
1

Hi guys,
I’ve tried to wake up my desktop PC with no sucess… I think I have all setup but… maybe some mistake in the procedure…

I’ve been only configuring the plugin with MAC@ and the console says… magic packet has been sent… but… NOTHING HAPPENS…

is there any step by step guide for WOL?

thx
Walter

your pc and the network card needs to support the WOL ability and most of time needs to be in s3 sleep state.
in the windows device manager you can look at the driver for the network card properties in advanced section to see if wake on lan/magic packet is enabled.

Also make sure WOL is enabled in your PC’s Bios Settings.
