Wake up your PC remotely

Hello.

I have a quick question :)

Is it possible to turn on a PC remotely, knowing that it is connected to the box via PLC?

Basically, I'm extending my 5GHz wifi network with my TP-Link RE650 repeater as follows:

- I'm extending my 5GHz wifi network (SFR)

- then a wired connection between this PLC and this PC.

Let's be clear: I'm a novice when it comes to networks and related stuff ^^

I've always wanted to turn on my PC remotely.

But I've never had the courage to do it.

I've done the following:

- Enabled the option in the BIOS

- Modified the power option of the relevant ETH network card

- Enabled the option in the properties of the card (like this)

- Enabled the Wake On Magic Packet property (like this)

Before continuing (although I've tried via my phone and the famous WoL app - unsuccessfully), I'd like to know if it's possible to start a PC if it is connected to the network this way.

And if so: are there any other methods available.

I think the answers will be negative, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Thank you :P

Hello.

I don't understand everything.

I don't understand how you can PING an off PC.

I will test it later.

I only tried to wake this PC using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uk.mrwebb.wakeonlan&hl=fr&gl=US

You mention ssh / rdp: what's that?

Thanks ^^

If you have enabled magic packets in the BIOS and on your network card to wake the PC remotely, you need to send it "packets", so you ping its IP address and it will turn on.

The packets sent to ping the IP address are the magic packets.

Hello...

I finally managed to turn on the PC via my phone.

Whereas before, it didn't work.

I must have activated the necessary things.

You mention PING: I'll do it tomorrow, when my other PC is operational...

Well, my phone needs to be on WiFi to turn on this PC.

On 4G, unfortunately, it doesn't work: obviously, it's not the same network.

Is there a way for a smartphone on 4G to turn on a PC remotely?

I'll look into it ^^

Thanks by the way for your answers.

Yes, he needs to be on the same network.

Too bad.... Because if I'm not at home, and I have to turn on the PC to then take control (for example): it's "dead".

Yo.

Thanks everyone!

I'm going to mark this as resolved and start a new topic to discuss the same thing, but this time in 4G.

In order to separate the two, so that people who want to wake their PC remotely with a smartphone on Wi-Fi can do so without the different methods getting mixed up.

How did you try to wake it up, with which application or module?

Normally, if everything is properly configured and you know the IP address of the machine, you just need to ping it.

To find the IP, open CMD, PowerShell, or Terminal and enter:

ipconfig

Make sure to note the IP

Then, from the PC that needs to wake it up:

ping ipofthewakeonmachine

After that, to access it, either SSH or RDP
