AcePC AK1 Wake on LAN

Post by Beechwoods »

Hi there

I can see that some 'advanced' elements of the AMI Bios used in the AK1 are hidden, including it seems the ability to Wake on LAN.
Is this correct? Is there any way of enabling Wake On LAN? I use my machine as a remote unit and WOL would be great for saving the machine being left on and awake 24/7.

Many thanks.

Hello,
Welcome to the forum,
Yes wol would be a good option to only wake up the device when needed.

@admin is the right person to answer this.

Our current BIOS is the Wake-on-LAN BIOS, which is turned on by default. No additional settings are required.
Thanks for joining the forum fans, we will become friends here. Any suggestions about the forum I am open to hearing.

Thank you! For some reason Microsoft Remote Desktop on my Mac wasn't sending the WOL packet.
I got a WOL app off the Mac App Store and it worked fine.
Thanks for the quick reply, and thanks for enabling WOL out of the box :D
