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".
For any additional info you need, please leave a comment.

Second time I'm using this tutorial to set up my WOW. Both time it work perfectly ! Thanks a lot !

[@persiangulf3438]

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

[@say_no_to_sugar]

Hi. Can I ask what the static ip is replacing in this tutorial? I understand what static ip is but what would be the difference?

[@eduAC.]

Thanks for the video, my friend. Worked first try via mobile data. Have a great weekend.

[@patrickbourdon6149]

Worked perfectly even if I left the DMZ off! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@delphinepayet7832]

Yeah !! it's work !! Thank you so much man ... I almost had insomnia last night lol

[@ruhto828]

Wow this really helped cause I have two pc that I need to sometimes remote access and they aren't in the same internet!

[@MindBlownSector]

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.

[@JohnWick-us8no]

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.

[@americio9539]

This worked perfectly, thank you very much for the information

[@AdiAgeraRS]

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 !

[@rahannn]

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?

[@DjMrMors]

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?

[@beszt95]

[@sho2067]

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

[@rainar8954]

Same with me

[@HaiDangHaiDang-is9ed]

hm my wifi is fpt I dont know how to do that can you help me?

[@superdupervideox]

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.

[@zvonkoilic128]

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 .

[@arturperzyna5453]

[@arturperzyna5453]

How to do it without access to router settings? Rarely we are allowed for router access in workplaces.

[@superdupervideox]

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

[@canadasmarketplace]

Question: This can wake a laptop connected on Wifi. And can wake the laptop remotely from my smartphone? Please explain..

[@ZED-PV]

No only over LAN. Not WiFi. But yes remotely over the internet

[@silent8206]

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?

[@physixz4859]

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

[@Pouyos]

It worked

[@totenasar]

What About IOS , There is any App Supported ?

[@ade4200]

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.

[@arsyad1105]

I can't even make my PC online on hibernation mode ☹️

So no need to have the PC connected to the router via CABLE is that correct??? No LAN-cable connection needed???

[@deynohmuturi1069]

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..

1. Does this work when the PC is completely shut down. 2. Do you have to create/renew the noIP link every month?

[@exs6708]

Doesn't work when shut down

[@Revolverben190]

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

[@vseprr]

When the domain you bought from the site expires, we cannot use this service, right?

[@physixz4859]

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.

[@physixz4859]

So bottom line, you can use no-ip service as long as they don't change their subscription policy...

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!
