About this tag
Wake-on-Lan (WOL) is a feature that allows a computer to be powered on remotely by sending a magic packet over a network. Troubleshooting WOL often involves configuring BIOS/UEFI settings, enabling WOL in the network adapter's advanced properties and power management settings, and disabling fast startup in Windows. Users may encounter issues with specific hardware combinations, such as Realtek NICs or MSI motherboards, and with wireless adapters that may not support WOL. Problems like display corruption after WOL from hibernation have also been reported. Proper setup requires ensuring the network adapter supports WOL and that the router or sending device can deliver the magic packet correctly.
