About Wake On Lan

Easily wake up computers from your phone/tablet!

* For this app to work, you need to make sure that your computer and network is set up for and supports Wake On Lan / WOL *

Automation
------------------------------
Automate waking up your computers by sending an intent broadcast from apps such as Llama and Tasker!
In the latest version there is now support for Tasker plugins to make it even easier to automatically wake devices.
Instructions on how to do this are available in the latest version of the app under the help section.

Quick Feature List
------------------------------
* Groups
* Network Search (Find devices on your network and add them to your list. No more finding out MAC addresses etc!)
* One touch wakeup widget for both devices and groups (A widget with online status is coming soon)
* Tasker plugin
* Intent Broadcast support (See instructions inside app help section for details on this)
* CSV Import/Export - So you can share your list of devices easily!
* Material Design (Taking suggestions on this!)
* Auto-Refreshing Device Online Status (Using both ports and ping)
* Supports Wake On Lan(WoL) and Wake On Wan(WoW)
* SecureOn

For WoW, just set the broadcast address to be the remote IP address of the device. This may require some extra setup on the remote network to make sure that the wakeup packets actually arrive on the remote device.

If you're trying to wake up a device that is connected via WiFi it may not work, there's not many WiFi cards that support the WOL standard. WOL works best via an ethernet connection. Some devices such as laptops may not support WOL very well or at all. Some might only work when they are in sleep mode, and others might allow you to turn it on when it is powered off.

Permission Details
---------------------------------
Photos/Media/Files/USB Storage - This is used for reading/writing CSV files to your internal storage so that you can copy your list of devices to other devices easily.

Network/WiFi - This is so that the app can actually send the magic packets to wake up your devices. It is also used in the network search screen and for pinging devices to see if they are online.

Works wonderfully! I would give it 5 stars if you could put the comupter back to sleep on command as well. I know there are other apps that do this but it seems they want me to download a file on my PC. Seems risky for spyware. This needs no computer files added the comp to wake it up! Great work!

ALL WHO RATED 1-STAR PLS READ THIS NOW! Wake On LAN (WOL) is an internet specification, not a "product". Here's what you need to know: 1. Your PC BIOS MUST support WOL 2. Your network card MUST support WOL 3. YOU must enable WOL in BIOS and/or NIC You also need to know this: * WOL does NOT work over WiFi, only on a wired Ethernet connection that is always plugged in. This is not the developer's fault and there is literally nothing they can do about it. * There is NO such protocol as "Shutdown On LAN (SOL)". The only way to accomplish this is to download some sort of custom helper app (agent) from the dev that runs 24x7 on the PC you want to remotely shutdown. * WOL by definition CANNOT use IP addresses, only hardware (MAC) addresses because duh, your computer is turned off and thus doesn't even have an IP address yet. Hardware NICs (Ethernet ports) are always listening on their MAC addresses even when your machine is off. WiFi adapters are just plain off, dead, not listening on IP or MAC.

I love this app, I use it to wake up our computer lab pcs at once. Just wished you could add a select all button so you can wake up all of the computers at once. But great app!

L70%
by L####:

Combing this with Tasker is best. I set it up to turn on PC when I connect to my WiFi. So when I get home from school, phone connect to WiFi and turn on PC automatically, 'till I get in the house PC is ready. Also with Autovoice, when I wake up in the morning I say "Wake up" and PC turns on 'till I get out of bed.

MAC address entry still needs work. Seems to get stuck every time the colon character is placed. Have to back up every time and retype. Other than that, it's a pretty good app.

Program works well, been using it for months. Ive tried a few others and they didn't work properly.They would all wake it up again the second I turned it off after using WOL. This app works great!

N70%
by N####:

This WOL app is simply the best. I use it a few times a day. If my router or pc are not acting up, this app does the job of waking the device up EVERY SINGLE TIME. Apps and programmers like this is what makes the mobile device ecosphere truly excellent. Thank you thank you THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. You ROCK!!! In addition, I used this app on a Galaxy S5, Samsung (Galaxy?) Duos, Samsung Tab S2, a Lenovo tablet that I don't recall the model, a ZTE Axon 7 and currently on my LG V20. If your hardware pc/router supports it and you configured it properly it WORKS...

E70%
by E####:

Works like it should and the tasker plugin is great. Any chance of the option to shutdown on lan (which it appears my PC support), with the tasker plugin, this would be awesome as I can get alexa to startup and shutdown my pc.

Hard to go wrong with this app. It does what it sets out to do exactly. Clear interface and simple to use. Easily the best of similar apps that I've tried.

Doesn't work at all... Set wake on LAN in power management of Ethernet driver. Enabled magic packet. I click wake, and it said woken up... But doesn't.

by N####:

Easiest one to use. After fighting with the NAS, the router and the original WoL app for days its lovely to find an app that just made it simple. The hard bit is still the router and NAS so don't blame this app if you can't get it to work.

M70%
by M####:

One major downside for me currently is whilst using the widget it'll turn the pc on, but when i turn it off, it will again be turned on without any interaction
