About Wake On LAN

Start your PC remote via Wake on LAN (WOL).

Your Motherboard / Ethernet-Card need to be compatible with the wake on lan protocol (most are) and you have to enable the features in your BIOS settings and your operating system.

This App MAY work over the Internet but theres no guarantee.

This App contains an App-Widget.

Some Instructions:
You need a WLAN-Router, PC/Notebook, an ethernet crossover cable and an Android Device (of course).
* Connect your PC and your router with the crossover cable.
* Your router must allow UDP Broadcast packages to be send.
* Enable WOL in BIOS and your Operating System.
* The get the IP-Address (and in some cases the port for WOL) of your PC.
* Connect your Android Device with your WLAN-Router and enter the IP-Address (and the port if needed).
* Click on the Hostname of the PC you want to wake up.

****MOST PC'S WON'T WORK IF THEY ARE NOT IN STANDBY OR SIMILAR STATE****

Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Wakes my computer from sleep, from anywhere. Just config your router with proper portforwarding och use a vpn, and you are set up.

T70%
by T####:

Almost perfect! But why not accept the hostname? I use this app to switch on PC at home via internet ( using dynamic IP and port forwarding), the only inconvenience us I have to manually retrieve and update IP before I can use it from remote...

T70%
by T####:

App is clean and easy to use. It has a function to schedule sending a packet but I haven't gotten it to work. If that gets fixed, 5 stars.

Wakes up every device I own as soon as I restart my phone.

Y70%
by Y####:

If you're not on the same subnet (or indeed have no net connection at all) then the app shouldn't attempt to send a WOL packet to the remote machine e.g. grey out the machine line or display a message that a WOL can't be sent to that machine if it's pressed on. Also, if a WOL packet is sent, the message " started" is shown. This isn't necesssarily true, even if you are on the same subnet. For example, the remote machine may be completely unplugged from the mains, disconnected from the network, not configured to accept WOL packets or there could be a simple typo of the MAC/IP in the app settings. The message should say "WOL sent to " instead.

Love this, I can turn on my computer from any where in the world as long I have the intrernet. Then I can remote desktop it. They two make a perfect pair. I love how the Mac address is automatically filled out when you type in the ip address. Widget is also really helpful. Really nice app.

I stopped my searching of similar software exactly on this app. It is useful, not flawless but useful and looks and works great. If you could please add such functionality that user could able to add Wake on LAN and Wake over WAN on a same item. Now I must have two item on my host list, one for LAN, second for the WAN. Thanks.

App works like a charm even found my MAC address by just typing in the IP and it turns on all my PCs including the Dell ones running Ubuntu which other wake-on-lan apps did not do

Q70%
by Q####:

Works as intended... If you are on a DHCP network where your target's IP may change, set it to the broadcast IP, which ends in 255; for example, if your target's IP is currently 192.168.0.101 --- set your target ip to 192.168.0.255. This will insure that your WOL packet is broadcast across the whole 192.168.0.x network.

I tried to configured wake on wan, it work perfectly fine until a few days later, it didnt turn on anymore (work for lan every time , no failure ). Tried internet wake request, and it works(at the same time, this app not working) (Updated) That was my fault and it works properly now even with public ip any time any where
