[QUOTE="SwissBuster, post: 1164582, member: 78168"] [INDENT] I'm pleased to report I've got a reliable WoLAN (but not WoWLAN) solution - I decided to go with the LAN option in the end. The 'impossible' wasn't nearly as hard as I thought once I gave it some proper thought, and as a bonus, I hard-wired the connection for my SwissCom TV box too. Getting WoLAN to work took some time and effort. I had to deactivate the 'wake from LAN' option for [U]all[/U] peripherals [U]except[/U] the LAN card as otherwise the PC was going into a constant restart loop. This was a marathon of trial and error to get the PC to get into sleep mode. Next, I had to work with Powerscheduler [U]and[/U] the PC power settings to get everything working for a reliable shutdown [U]and[/U] startup from sleep for scheduled events (e.g. TV recordings). Finally, the router needed some settings to be adjusted to allow remote access - because SwissCom doesn't allow a fixed IP address. From memory, the key change was to give my media PC an IP pass-through address from the router.[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
