Windows 10: Windows 11 busted wake on LAN

On Windows 10, i had the option of waking my computer in the basement from the second floor, thus allowing me to access my video library without running up and down stairs.Windows 11 busted this function and any online research I have done includes 12 to 15 separate steps for what used to be a one-click function.Has Windows 11 buggered this forever or is there a SIMPLE way to get this working? For reference, there is no longer a Wake on LAN option in the network driver, but — with MS support — we were able to find and add something like Wake on magic packet. To ping and wake up the PC, I use

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 not working anymore

Hi,

Previously I'm using windows 10 and wake on lan works fine. But last year I do a in place upgrade to windows 11, then wake on lan never works again.

I tried all steps I found from internet, nothing helps.

Is there something changed in windows 11? and how could I bring WOL back to my PC?

thanks!
