    Unable to enable WoWLAN


    Hi, I'll be as descriptive as I can here.

    I am trying to enable WoWLAN on my wireless card (Intel AX201).

    I don't have a Power Management tab in Device Manager for this device so I can't enable it that way.

    My laptop is a Lenovo Yoga 7 and the BIOS does not have a Power Management tab either, or any other 'wake on' option.

    I've tried logging in as Administrator and enabling the WoWLAN through command line and I get the following message:
    powercfg /deviceenablewake "Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz"
    You do not have permission to enable or disable device wake.

    However, the device is listed when I execute the powercfg -devicequery wake_from_any command so I think it has the required capability.

    I've also tried adding the registry entry to enable the Power Management tab, but this also led to nothing.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    :)

    Enabling WoWLAN (Wake on Wireless LAN)

    As you might have noted, accountingcolanda mentioned that this did not work even when cmd is run as administrator (note that in the top-bar, it says "Administrator: Command Prompt"). I am having a similar issue. It may be related to the fact that in my case
    I have a USB Wireless adapter.

    I have an exactly similar situation to the original issue, which is that I cannot enable WoWLAN in Device Manager (it is greyed out) and when running the suggested command, I receive the error "You do not have permission to enable or disable device wake".

    I am using an ASUS USB-AC53 Nano USB Wieless adapter, if that makes any difference (I know that is misspelled, but that's how it appears in device manager).
