# Setting up Wake-on-Lan (WoL)

## This guide will show you how to enable Wake-on-LAN (WoL) on your computer, allowing you to remotely power it on over your network.


**Prerequisite:**

* A computer that supports WoL (check your computer's or motherboard's documentation)

**Enable Wake-on-LAN in BIOS**

1. **Access BIOS:** Reboot your computer and press the designated key at the boot screen (usually Delete, F2, or another function key). The key will be indicated on the screen.
2. **Locate WoL Option:** In the BIOS menu, find the Wake-on-LAN option. It may be clearly labeled or included in settings like "Resume By PCI-E Device" (e.g., on MSI motherboards). Refer to your motherboard's manual for guidance.

1. **Enable WoL:** Toggle the setting to enable it.

**Note:**  
Some computers may only support WoL from sleep mode, while others allow it from a powered-off state.

**Tip:**  
Check your PC or motherboard documentation as some manufacturers may require disabling certain sleep modes (e.g., S3/S4) to enable WoL.
