So if your BIOS doesn’t have a WOL option, it doesn’t mean that your PC doesn’t have WOL support. Similary the HP dx2390 didn’t have any WOL settings in BIOS, but I could power then on from a complete power down. My Old Lenovo 3000 N200 didn’t have WOL support in BIOS, but I was able to bring it out of sleep from Suspended mode. And there are some computers that can only be brought to wake from Linux suspended and windows Standby mode. Now there are PCs on which I have seen no WOL support in BIOS, but still capable of waking from power off. If your BIOS doesn’t have this option, then WOL is not supported. Your PC in this case can definetely be brought to boot from a complete power down. If the option Exists, enable it and you know that your PC supports WOL. You will have to go through all the menu options to find it. Different BIOS use different menu structure, so it may be under Network in one BIOS and Power management in the other BIOS. Check if your PC is capable of WOL and enable it in BIOS.įirst Boot into your Bios and see if there is a Wake on Lan option somewhere. here is a step by step on how to do it.ġ.
You will be first enabling Wake on Lan on your PC, then install wakelan on Qnap and finally sending a MagicPacket to your PC from Qnap. Offcourse your Computer has to be on the same network as the Qnap machine and you have to know the Mac and broadcast address of the machine you are trying to wakeup. I am assuming that you have remotely shell access on your Qnap machine and your Computer supports WOL. Now if you have a Qnap machine or any other NAS box with embedded linux, which is always on, you can use it to Wake your computer on Lan. I am sure everybody has a PC that they want to remotely access but not powered on all the time.
