Aurora R6, enabling Wake -on-LAN (WOL)

I have an Aurora-R6 with BIOS v1.0.5. I see the same.

It might be because we are in UEFI-Mode (which is best) or some other reason.

1. Have you tried just doing the Windows-10 config?

2. What is your local network config like?

3. What are you trying to accomplish exactly?

1. Tried to enable WOL in the Ethernet adaptor in Win10 Device Manager. However it is greyed out probably because it’s not enabled in the BIOS.
2. What local network configs are you asking for?
3. I have tightVNC installed on my Aurora R6. When it is not in use, I’d like it to go to sleep (S3). However, when I access it remotely via VNC. I would like it to wake up.

1. Hmm. In Device Manager? You are using the on-board Killer E2400 Gigabit Ethernet "card" right? 

2. So, it's a residential peer-to-peer network behind a router?

3. Yeah, I use Real-VNC to the Macs, but I use Ultra-VNC from Windows to Windows. From a batch file, I wake with MagicPacket and then start VNC.

You might also check your Sleep-State config in Aurora-R6 BIOS. IIRC, the default was set so that after it fell asleep ... clicking the mouse-button would not wake it. It was easy to fix.

RE>> Yes to both questions.

RE>> Yes

RE>> So you don't need to enable WOL in BIOS and Win10 for the setup you have? I downloaded the MagicPacket app from the Microsoft Store and will play around with it. However, I typically VNC to my Aurora R6 from my Macs.

This is my Windows batch file. If you come-up with something better (maybe not even using MagicPacket), please let me know.

REM www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan
REM wolcmd [mac address] [ip address] [subnet mask] [port number]
REM wolcmd 019037a324fc 192.168.159.20 255.255.255.0 8900

REM Wake SATURN
wolcmd A89FDCB5C763 192.168.1.9 255.255.255.0 8900
ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 5000 > nul
REM PAUSE
"C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" -config saturn.vnc

Ok so Dell Facebook got back to me with the solution:

1) In BIOS, go to Advanced > Power Options > Deep Sleep

2) Disable Deep Sleep

3) "Wake Up on Integrated LAN" can now be selected and enabled.

Hope this helps someone and saves them $129 CAD!

Thanks,

I would not suggest this. I just did this and my pc went into a boot loop. I had to reset the CMOS to fix it.
