Wake on WAN (WoW) Tutorial - Turn on your PC from anywhere in the world!

- I didn't bother you with theory behind this procedure but if you are interested here is explanation.
So when you want to turn on your PC from different network, other than one on which is your PC connected (basically you can be anywhere in the world), you need to set your public IP (not local!). Because public IP is dynamic (means that it is changing) you need to use provider like no-ip (I used in video) so you can create hostname which will automatically refresh value of public IP when it changes. Then everytime your public IP change, your hostname will provide accurate information.
**IF YOU HAVE PROBLEM AND THIS IS NOT WORKING DO THESE STEPS!**
1. Press Windows button and type "Device Manager" (Without quotes),
2. In the list, find "Network adapters" and double-click on it,
3. Then find proper network adapter, usually starting with Realtek or Intel...
4. Double-click on it,
5. Then click on "Power Management" tab and make sure that these 2 boxes are checked. "Allow this device to wake the computer" and "Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer",
6. Now click on tab called "Advanced",
7. In the list that appears find "Wake on Magic Packet" and click once on it,
8. On the right side set value to be "Enabled",
9. Click Ok and you are done.
*IF PROBLEM STILL PERSIST YOU MIGHT NEED TO CHANGE SETTINGS IN YOUR BIOS*
Google on "How to set bios for wake on lan".

Thank you for sharing your knowledge i wanted to say this works because i tried it my self .
Just wanted to add something: 1-instead of setting a dynamic dns for your router (some routers don't support free dynamic dns services (like mine)) you can ask your internet service provider for a static ip (in my country is super cheap) 2- you need to set a local static ip address for pc you intend to turn on. Otherwise modem may send wake on lan packets to a different device which won't work out
Second time I'm using this tutorial to set up my WOW.
Both time it work perfectly ! Thanks a lot !
Worked perfectly even if I left the DMZ off! Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks for the video, my friend. Worked first try via mobile data. Have a great weekend.
Yeah !! it's work !! Thank you so much man ... I almost had insomnia last night lol
hey man you're faking amazing.
My router ui is very different from yours but I figured it out somehow.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Wow this really helped cause I have two pc that I need to sometimes remote access and they aren't in the same internet!
Thx. Mine turned on with my phone using 5G and away from home using WAN from being fully powered off. You're a genius. My moonlight on steam deck does has a connection terminated error after awhile but going to my router and changing my Firewall DMZ DMCPS-Fixed rather than Dynamic, it doesnt have the error. I just have to remember to change it back to Dynamic so i can take advantage of turning my pc on away from home.
Had to enable RIP protocol in my router besides following every step & now i can turn on my PC from anywhere in the world now.. HELL YEAH !
This worked perfectly, thank you very much for the information
i will be trying this tomorrow (watching this on my phone in bed). i have already wasted hours trying to get it working so i'm not giving up just yet lol
olso
Super video!
Hey there, Can you help me? It works for me when I am on same WiFi with my phone as the PC. But when i go to mobile internet, it doesn't work anymore. Ports are forwarded. I even had my ISP explain to me how forward ports. I tried to remote access my TPLINK and it worked, so I am not doing mistake there. But it still doesnt wake it up, unless it is on the same network. Any solutions?
Thanks a million for this
Thank you! For those whose ISP is DIGI, it is very simple to get a DDNS.
salut , ma poti ajuta si pe mine ca setarile routerului de la digi?
Cannot find a proper app for the IOS side, any suggestions?
And there is no port trigger page in my router setup, is that a problem?
thanks bro , its work!!! btw can I add one more pc for this?
hi, I've set everything up, but the PC turns on only if it and the phone are on the same network, what could be the problem?
I'm on the last step of downloading the WolOn app. However, I only have iPhone and there is no WOL app that supports WAN option as WolOn, which is not on appstore. Can somebody help me?
I can't believe it actually worked. Thank you so much, man! Your video was the only useful one I found. This is amazing
hello thank you for your amazing video but I've got a problem with the router when I shutdown my pc the port that i fowarded closes i would appreciate any help concerning my problem i'm using currently a huawei HG8747A5 router
Is there any other way to wake my laptop on LAN? My work PC has VPN enabled and I don't have access to the network config page... I can run Ipconfig on it tho.
Your tuto worked fine for me, just dont need to set the DMZ thing.
its only working on same network not on other network i did same settings like you but its not working
My provider uses carrier grade nat which does nt allow port fowarding and noip etc cant be used. Any way around this?
Hello there excellent video. I have s home server that runs truenas. I already have domain and ddns set up on my router with port forwarding. So i my case i just need to download the app from google store and set it there? Ok probably it will need mac address and some more info but other than that it is almost ready?
Hi, should I change the IP address of the DDNS ? Also should all the other IP addresses be the IP address of the LAN port ?
Ddns option dont show up in my TP Link Wifi, how to make it show up?
Can you post the link to the mts hg8245q2 thing as well as the my no ip thing?
It worked
Hi, I followed your tutorial, but this error message popped up when I tried to configure port trigger: "Error: The configured port conflicts with the port of the port mapping service". Do you know how to solve it?
ngu :)))
i have problem . i am able to make it work on lan, when i try on wan it idoes not work, my router name is mercusys ac12g, i did everything else enabled it in bios and in device manager but stil cant do it...
vidim da je ime rutera MTS ja sam izsto iz srbije ako ti nije problem da se dodamo na diskordu ako imas vremena da mi pomognes ?
Hi, can I turn on the computer outside my home network?
banger video
Does it work with shutdown state?
Do you need to set up a DNS if you already have a static ip?
no
If the Pc is "Shut down", does it work or is only for Hibernate ?
Ive Been trying like crazy. I use a netgear orbi Wifi 6 router and all of those options aren't there. I was able to set up wake on Lan but I cant get Wake on Wan to work.
Same with me
Jedno pitanje....kada bi sve ovo uradio kako ste bas lepo opisali,kao nekome ko se jako slabo snalazi u svetu PC dali ja mogu kada probudim glavni moj racunar sa drugg racunapa koji je recimo u drugom stanu da tada i downloadujem i saljem podatke sa jednoga na drugi i obrnuto ? Hvala unapred .
hm my wifi is fpt I dont know how to do that can you help me?
GREAT tutorial for Wake On LAN, but useless for Wake on WAN - no new information beyond what's everywhere to be true, but it's a good vid. Of course, for WAN this largely depend on drivers, BIOS setup and so. Well, I'll keep searching.
Man, do you found how to do that in WAN? I lost my brain trying it lol
@@LuizEduardo-ke3be I didn't do it, really. I was searching if there was something available for Wake on WLAN.
Im still searching as well
This is cool but won't work if you're behind cgnat where ISP blocks port 1-1000. Instead if your router has vpn built in you can turn that on and asks the router to generate an open vpn profile with desired username and password. (The simpler PPTP option doesn't work for me)
Then find wake on lan apk on android, set up your device first by using the local wifi. Then import the ovpn profile(s) by using openvpn apk. After that, whenever you need remotely wake up PC from WAN, you will need to turn openvpn and finally wake up the device.
i config port trigger like you but got error: The configured port conflicts with the port of the port mapping service.
Can you help me?
Hi. You probably set that port to another service. Check what ports are used on your machine (you can use "netstat -ab" command in cmd), find matching port and try to stop that service. Then try again. Let me know if you succeed
Congrats for this video...it's fantastic......I have a question...is possible to make with a portable pc?Thanks
It works both with a desktop and with a laptop as long as it is connected to the router via Lan
I think you can do this with one step, install tailscale on the devices, done. All devices will be on a virtual private network. All this flaffing about will not work with most routers that internet providers give you as there are no firewall user options and they block magic packets for wake up from outside. So what to do now? The tailscale part is to fix ip address, but now you need an 'insider', a device that is always on inside the network that you can remote into to send magic packet from inside the network. I try anydesk to insider chromebook, not working/supported, teamviewer want 15 a month now for the privilege of wake up functionality, iphone, ipad insider? no remote that i can find yet. i will lose my mind. Static IP requires business account in a lot of countries, then you need to buy a router with firewall options if you are going that way. But you better know a lot about security.
How to do it without access to router settings?
Rarely we are allowed for router access in workplaces.
You can try asking the network admin for an ovpn profiles which then you could connect as if you are using the local wifi. Alternatively use a freeware amazing app like wake up on standby so the PC will wake up at specified schedules
Question: This can wake a laptop connected on Wifi. And can wake the laptop remotely from my smartphone? Please explain..
No only over LAN. Not WiFi. But yes remotely over the internet
Is it not the case that when you use DMZ, you are sending ALL network traffic to your PC? Is that not super dangerous?
Yes It Is.. I suggest Just to open the ports you need for the configuration..
Can you help me personally to turn on my pc remotely using my mobile internet? I watched your above video. This was too technical for me as I come from a non technical background.
XD
So no need to have the PC connected to the router via CABLE is that correct??? No LAN-cable connection needed???
Yes
What About IOS , There is any App Supported ?
Blyat, krasava 😂👌🏼👍🏼
I can't even make my PC online on hibernation mode ☹️
1. Does this work when the PC is completely shut down.
2. Do you have to create/renew the noIP link every month?
Doesn't work when shut down
It is possible to do when the computer is fully shut down. You will need to disable fast startup. Secondly, if you want to do this for free you will have to manually renew the DDNS.
Wrong @@exs6708
hi nice video but i continue without working it... on lan I can but wan i dont have reaction...
Update: I made it work and turn on the pc in wan but only if I have the Wifi on... do I need to configure something else?
@@Sabre1023 did you resolve this?
@@pi-gaming2667 HI Pi! no I can't... I continue only with LAN...
did everything perfectly, tried everything, doesn't work
I followed the whole process and it didn't work yet I did everything and put my bios and my network card in magic mode and wan
did you make it work finally????
@@clikarquitectura yes
@@knowstryker8015 Cool!!! How was it??? I can't... I'm exactly as you were. Could you help please?
I've got this set up but it will only work immediately after shut down. If I wait more then a minute it doesn't work. Any ideas?
Wait, can you explain me because I can't understand from what you wrote...How do you mean it work immediately after shut down?
@@physixz4859 hello thanks for the reply. When i turn off the computer WolOn will only work within 20 seconds when sending a packet over the internet. If I wait any longer the computer won't turn on. If I am on the local network it will work anytime.
@@CobabeCreative You mean when you put your pc in sleep mode or hibernation? So it is working on your network (not home wifi), but for 20 sec?
@@physixz4859 I am talking about from completely shut down. Not hibernation or sleep. PowOn app works when my phone is connected to the wifi network. But when I use the "noip" setup it only works for 15-20 seconds after shut down.
@@CobabeCreative Sorry but I just never heard for PowOn app. Can you try to put your pc in sleep mode and then try to turn it on with WolOn app on mobile data. Let me know if you succeed.
This is wake on lan video only,the guy configured on the wan side of the app but used the lan side while hiding the internet connection symbol
When the domain you bought from the site expires, we cannot use this service, right?
You will get email few days before expiration and in that mail you will have link to extend duration for the next 30 days I think, which is also free.
So bottom line, you can use no-ip service as long as they don't change their subscription policy...
@@physixz4859 So I can renew it every thirty days, right?
@@vseprr that's right, just check your email periodically...
@@physixz4859 thank you so much man i watched so many videos just your vidoes is so usefull for me. Thanks again ☺️
damn 4 me this no work only lan, wan not i set ddns pforward but wan not waking only lan umm any help?
me too, did you find any solution ?
@@M93BQzz yes! go to your router and find dmz option and enable it, I did it and now working all good, Gluck :D
@@Musica-Lyrix i already enabled it but it didn't work ! are you sure it's about DMZ ?
@@Musica-Lyrix i enable port forward and triggered, for port 9 and DMZ, and DDNS, i also lestien to my NIC (with wireshark) and i receive the packet on my computer but it didn't turn it on !
@@M93BQzz hmm for me DMZ solved the problem, other problem is ARP if your router have option arp add your internal ip address of pc with WOL listening, if not have the option you will need call your ISP to ad damn ip to arp table ,hehe I know is pain cuz of security but is working :D
Worked perfectly. As you'll see in the comments, I advise to NOT setup the DMZ, since it definitely puts your pc and network at severe risk. The port forwarding/mapping and triggering is all you need (as well as the other instructions from the video). Also make sure your BIOS has Wake on LAN enabled!
Don't work for me if DMZ is not configure
hey man it only works till a couple of minutes after the pc is shut down. Is there a way to fix this?
Yes i have the same issue why it doesn't work after a couple of minutes of sleep
@@davidchapman4943 there is a option on the bios to keep lan card wake up after turn of pc just search for it
Putting your PC in DMZ?? Wouldn't that be a security risk
my thoughts exactly
did it without dmz, still working
what is dmz
@@MapleJokerRofl Demilitarized Zone
@@MapleJokerRofl dmz mean demilitarized zone , in other words there Is no firewall , your device Is directly connected to the network with no filters
for me it is only working in lan:(
You did everything from the tutorial? Can I help somehow?
@@physixz4859 yes i did , but still the packet cant go through my router even though i did port forwarding
@@OSagnikSen Did you enabled wake on lan in BIOS?
@@physixz4859 yes
@@OSagnikSen Ok. When you go to device manager, and under Network adapters find the one you are using for LAN of WiFi connection. Right click on it, then properties, and under Advanced tab find Wake on Magic Packet and set it to Enabled. Let me know if that caused the problem.
Esti roman?
ily blyat
Only works in lan
Works on both for me
That's wake on lan...not wake on wan...please change the title if you want to be correct!
I guess "Edit WAN Device" at the top when he's entering the details isn't there then huh (7:05)
I just realize that this guy straight up bs everyone
*THIS IS WAKE ON LAN, NOT WAKE ON WAN*
Which means only in the same network. No wonder why many people still failed.
Mine worked. Check your router settings.
