WOL

Does anyone know of an app that actually works?

I have a PC that is difficult to reach. Using WOL makes life so much easier. I run something called WakeOnLan by Sepiro LTD. It works well. However, this is a Microsoft Store item that has since then vanished from the store and it seems that it is no-longer supported, because it is getting more and more buggy with each new update for Windows 11 Pro.

I have tried all the other "simple" WOL apps in the store, and none of them wake the target up. It seems amazing to me that the app with the least configuration works and the rest don't. It would be nice to find something that works and is supported!

Does anyone have any recommendations? I have tried all the ones in the Microsoft store and none of them work.

I have been using WakeONLan by Aquila Technology for years.

I'll try that, thank you.
Do I need to fix the IP of the target or can it work just on the Mac Address?

The WOL is broadcast to the IP.

Oh, peesh, I got it working without the IP! All you have to do is pop in the PC name instead of the IP and it works great.

I mean, I could fix the IP's but I'm too lazy.

It's awesome. Thank you! It works a treat.

Cool, glad it worked for you.
