Wake on LAN

Several times over the years I've attempted to setup WOL unsuccessfully, I've never managed it. I've just upgraded some things and want to I want to try again but this time ACTUALLY GET IT WORKING. I want be able to turn my PC on from anywhere using my phone or laptop and just have it work. Are there any good apps anyone can recommend? Any good tutorials that you know work? Anybody wanna call me and talk me through it..... :cry:

My router is the ROG GT-AX11000

Where do I start?

See that's the thing, I want to do it remotely. Running windows 11. I'm doing it wireless from stand by and it works if I'm connected to the network but that's no use to me.

If I connect to my router using the weblink here via my phone it just doesn't load. It's 2023 you'd think this would just be another built in option

Does it work if you connect directly via the external IP address?

It tries to login but just refreshed back to the login page

Ive just had a look at your router, its basically the same firmware as mine, just access the router and turn on Smart Access in AiCloud 2.0, then download the AiCloud 2 app from playstore, and turn on WOL in the bios, job done.

I'll give that a go

Well that worked a treat. Thanks Jammin
