Open Energy Saver preferences and, in the Options tab, enable Wake for Ethernet network administrator access. Open the Device Manager, click Network adapters, right-click the Network Adapter to be WOL enabled, and click Properties.Ĭlick the Link Speed tab then verify installation of Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software and verify it is the latest version.Ĭlick the Power Management tab and mark the Wake on Magic Packet from power off state check box.
