Aurora R15, WOL, BIOS
I'm trying to enable WOL (Wake on LAN) in BIOS on the Aurora R15.
Service manual seems to indicate this is possible.
But option doesn't appear in settings. Found advice to disable deep sleep and restarting to get the option to appear.
But this doesn't change anything.

To receive assistance from Dell chat support, they need to verify the warranty status and ownership. Then you must troubleshoot with them. Click the "Get help now" icon on the right to start a live chat session. Provide to them the private Aurora R15 Service Tag.
Link to the Service Manual you showed above in your picture.
The Aurora R15 Service Manual page 100 does not show, "Wake Up by Integrated LAN" under Power Options.
The Aurora R15 AMD Service Manual page 100 does not show, "Wake Up by Integrated LAN" under Power Options.

Just because it doesn't show WoL in the machine's BIOS options ... doesn't mean it's not capable of WoL.
Over the years, I've seen WoL wake machine's from Sleep, but never really from fully-Off. I use a Magic-Packet or just leave it on.

Ah so the Aurora R15 doesn't have wake on lan option? I just went of of what the service manual that came included with the computer said.

Yeah mostly trying to avoid leaving the computer on all the time to not waste energy. But still be able to remote in whenever the R15 goes into sleep mode.
My use case just wants to wake from sleep from remote over internet using magic packets. Using unified remote or homeautomation/rasberry pi.
Ive already enabled the Wake on lan capabiltity in windows to be able to receive the magic packet but as I understand it it needs the WOL bios setting to be enabled as well. Which doesn't appear to be in the R15 bios.
There's also wake after power loss which I do see in the bios.Which I know I can connect to a smart plug but it's a bit hamfisted to constantly force shutdown and start just to be able to remote in to the computer.
edit: Been also trying to figure if there's a way to do remote/wan on usb wakeup option. Where I can send a remote key press to some sort of dongle wake from sleep?

1. Good
2. that is all fine
3. Correct
Try dropping BIOS back to S3-Sleep (not more advanced ones like S4 or S5).
Might also have to toggle Modern Standby option etc.
