![]() This question was originally at but then I was told to ask it here instead. How can I achieve my goal of waking a computer that is attached to the router, given that no other devices are physically attached to the router (and instead are only connected via wifi)? Thanks! I figured that the only hardwire requirement was that the sleeping computer needed to have an ethernet cable between it and the router (which mine does).īut it finally occurred to me: maybe wake-on-LAN only would only work if my sending computer were also hardwired to the router. I can, therefore, set up MAC address to that of the system whose packets I want to hijack and then the switch again enters into play. ![]() For example, in Linux I can run 'ip link set dev eth1 address YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY' and this will change MAC address of the network card (until reboot). Windows 10 computer, or Ubuntu in WSL on Win 10, or Android).Ĭalling this seems to have no effect: wakeonlan 00:26:9e:89:c9:e5 It is just the default setting, which anybody can change. I've spent hours trying to figure out how to send a Magic Packet from one of my other devices (e.g. You should see this traffic come up in the capture. Then send a wakeonlan packet to the windows machine from your Pi again. ![]() It's the only device plugged in via ethernet cable. To see if the packet is actually getting to the PC, you can install Wireshark, select the relevant interface to monitor, start the capture and then type 'wol' in the display filter. Plugged into that via ethernet is an Ubuntu computer that is often sleeping. I have an Arris BGW210-700 wifi router (which is required for AT&T fiber). ![]()
