Wake-on-LAN guides for PacketWake

Wake-on-LAN only works when the target device and network allow the magic packet to reach a sleeping adapter. These guides keep the setup practical and checkable.

Setup guide Configure BIOS or UEFI, Windows or macOS adapter settings, target fields, broadcast, port, retries, and SecureOn. Troubleshooting Diagnose failed wake attempts, VLANs, VPNs, guest networks, wrong MAC addresses, and sleep-state limits.

Important

PacketWake does not scan your network or promise live online/offline status. It sends the wake packet you request and records the local attempt.
