What is Wake- on-Lan and how does it work?

Imagine that you can turn on another computer without physically sitting in front of it. This feature is called Wake-on-LAN, and it allows users to «wake up» devices in low-power states (such as sleep, hybrid, or power off) without anyone having to be present at the remote end to physically press the button. ignition.

If Wake-on-LAN is enabled on the remote computer, the device’s network interface adapter (NIC) is still powered and connected to the LAN, even though the machine is asleep. This allows the adapter to wait for a wakeup signal, a special network broadcast packet. When you want to turn on the remote device, you are sending this signal from your machine to the remote target computer that is in low power mode. The transmission is called a Magic Packet and contains the unique MAC address of the device you want to activate.

2] Update Network Interface Card (NIC) driver

Network drivers can cause problems with the Wake-on-LAN function, and if you have this problem, you should Try updating the NIC Driver to the latest version.

You can update your drivers manually through Device Manager, or you can get driver updates from the Optional Updates section of Windows Update. You can download the latest version of the driver from the manufacturer’s website.
