Windows 10: Wake on Wireless Lan

Is there a way to set up my computer to wake u from wireless lan? I am running windows 10 but nowhere near an ethernet port, and would like to be able to do the regular WOL abilities.



Another question I haven't been able to find anywhere, is it possible to turn on my computer completely from WOL? Or just turn it on from sleep mode?

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?

 

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,

 

Wake On Lan Question

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Just to clarify, you are unable to wake the computer up using the Wake on LAN tool, is that right?

You mentioned the "allow this device to wake the computer" option in device manager. Did you check that option and save the changes? If not, please do so and check again.

Also, refer the help article below for steps to configure Wake on Wireless LAN.
