4.10.3 WOL (Wake-on LAN)

Click “Advanced” ➝ ”WOL.”

This function allows sending a wake-up signal to a connected computer in the LAN. Wake-on-LAN-capable computer systems reserve a minimum amount of power for the network adapter when turned off. The network card listens for a specific packet, called the Magic Packet. The router sends such a Magic Packet to a specific computer.
