Wake On Lan does not function despite all settings being correct and enabled

Within my own network, I am able to remote into the target machine, but not able to wake it from standby/sleep.

I note that I have tried all the usual troubleshooting (have read all the how-to's, which are largely all the same! and videos), and this is a last resort.

To rule things out, for those offering support, so we're not coving the same ground - I have already:

  • made sure BIOS WOL is enabled
  • made sure fast boot is disabled
  • I have got the correct network adapter settings (power management has WOL enabled with magic packet etc.)
  • I have got the correct network adapter advanced settings (all the wake and link and UDP options are enabled
  • I have made sure the power settings for the system (power link state management is off)
  • I have also checked in regedit to make sure its accurate
  • even tried rolling back network adapter driver to a much earlier version (1.0.4.1 or something) as reports it worked (it did not)

I have read reports of WOL working with this hardware when using Linux, which suggests it's a Windows issue. But that's anecdotal as I'm not switching to linux.

Also looked at this thread, which did nothing for me too.

All drivers are up to-to-date - have uninstalled and re-installed with the latest to be sure. Also tried using Microsoft vs. Asus (I have the ROG Strix B660-I board which has the I225-V NIC).

    Hi, ReadyPlayerOne

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    Thanks for visiting Microsoft Community.  

    I wish I could handle your problem, however, the issues on WOL  is out of reach of the response support community. It is more suitable for publishing on Microsoft Learn , you can click on "Ask a question", there are experts who can provide more professional solutions in that place.  

    Here is a link to the forum where you can raise specific scenarios and share your idea to help solve the problem.  

    Sincerely hope that your question will be dealt with appropriately after contact the correct department. Thank you for your understanding! 

    Sincerely
