Windows 10: Simple Wake on LAN test

I am trying to see if the "Wake on LAN" feature will help me out in another project.

However... I can't seem to figure out how to actually get it to work.

So my ask is, "What is the simplest way to test Wake on LAN?"

I have 2 identical Windows 10 machines. Intel NUC Hades Canyon to be specific.

I want to keep it simple and just use an ethernet cable between them. I made each ethernet port a static IP address. Computer A = 192.168.1.100 Computer B = 192.168.1.200. Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

So far after a few days all I am able to get is some of the software, such as "WakeOnLAN" and "WakeMeOnLan" have been helpful as it will identify the other computer... it just won't do anything when I try to wake it.

- Is there better software?

- How do I know what port # to use?

- Can I do this with just a straight ethernet cable or do I NEED a router, etc?

- Any other settings to check other than the BIOS and the Network Device of the Ethernet Port?

- Is it okay to use a static IP or do I need to use DHCP

Happy to take any videos or photos that would better show the configuration or my setup.

Thank you for any tips!

Wake On LAN is Not Working


I have been unable to get Wake on LAN functionality to work in Windows 10:

• I am attempting to do a Wakeup on LAN to my desktop computer which is running Windows 10 from my laptop which is also running Windows 10. The desktop computer is connected to my router through a wired Ethernet connection and the laptop is connected to the same router via a wireless connection
• I'm doing this within my Local Area Network so I'm not going through a router from the external network
• I've upgraded the driver on my network adapter to the latest version
• I've enabled all the required functionality in the BIOS to enable Wake on LAN
• I've turned on all the required settings in my network adapter to enable Wake on LAN
• I've disabled "Fast Startup" in Windows 10
• I'm using the "Wake on LAN" software application from Aquila Technology
• The software is installed on both my desktop and laptop and I've tested it with the desktop in "listening" mode and verified that the desktop receives "magic" wake-up packets when it is up-and-running
• When my desktop system is powered down and I send it a Magic Packet in exactly the same way as I did when it was powered up, nothing happens and it doesn't respond to the wake-up packet

Any suggestions of what I can do to further troubleshoot this problem?

Thanks,

 

How to setup wake-on-lan?

Here is some info.
It seems Windows 7 supports WoWLAN (Wake on Wireless LAN).
But, your adapter has to support it from what I can gather.

Configure Wake on Wireless LAN (WoWLAN)
Wake-on-Wireless LAN

Wake on Wireless LAN @ Revolution Wi-Fi


Try googling WoWLAN and wake on wireless lan.

EDIT: What wireless card do you have?
