For Windows 8, Wake On LAN is not supported by Ping.

When connected to a 100Mbps/1Gbps wired LAN and the computer exits Sleep/hibernation mode, a message appears informing you of a connection to a 10Mbps/100Mbps wired LAN. This happens because when the computer exits standby/hibernate mode, restoring the network takes about 3 seconds. When the network is restored, it operates at 100Mbps/1Gbps.

When system is running on battery, some time it may take a few second extra after inserting LAN cable to be able to connect to internet. This symptom happen as a result of power saving feature to reduce battery consumption.

When system is running on battery, the Wired LAN speed is decreased automatically to reduce battery consumption. In such case, a 1Gbps /100Mbps LAN would function at 100Mbps/10Mbps speed.
