Hi All,

I know this is probably asked incredibly often, but I'm having trouble setting up my WoL. Let me give you an overview of what has been done sofar:

OS: Windows 10
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43
NIC: Onboard NiC

- Device Manager > Network adaptors > RealTek PCIe GBE Family Controller > Properties > Driver

Driver Version: 10.10.714.2016

- Device Manager > Network adaptors > RealTek PCIe GBE Family Controller > Properties > Power Management

"Allow the computer to turn off the device to save power", "Allow the device to wake the computer" & "Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer" all ticked.


- BIOS

Deactive EuP 2013 Option
Activate Resume by PCI & PCIe Device

I have confirmed that the magic packet is being received using a monitor (http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/wake-on-lan-monitor.aspx) but the system doesn't seem to turn on using a Wake Up Command.

Any ideas what else to check?

Thanks for your time,

Rich

Hi Blas,

Thanks for the suggestion. I've carried on trying to sort it myself and have found that reapplying the drivers seems to have done the trick (for now!). Hopefully it will carry on.
