Teamviewer 11 Wake On Lan



How to Remotely Turn On Your PC Over the Internet

Teamviewer has the option to send the wake on lan signal to a public address (I already set up the FreeDNS subdomain and everything) and I have my NIC set up through windows to accept magic packets. I am going to try the wake on lan on my local network and see if it works. Results will be deleted after 30 days for anonymous users. Sharable URL (these results): Just the Plain Text Results.

You have made a search on Google on how you can ” remotely turn on your PC over the internet ”, that’s why you are here.

Don’t go anywhere!

Previous TeamViewer versions 10 – 11 – 12 – 13 – 14. The downloads on this page are only recommended for users with older licenses that may not be used with. The steps involved in how to set up TeamViewer for wake on lan are fairly straightforward: Set up your PC BIOS to enable Wake On Lan Set up your router for Port Forwarding to the PC in your home or office that you want to connect to Set Up TeamViewer for Wake On Lan.

Because we are going to “enable wake on LAN windows 10 8 and 7”, after which you can “turn on computer remotely with Windows 10” and other versions easily.

In our previous article, we have discussed on how to add a Static Route to the Windows Routing Table

But now let’s start our discussion on remotely turn on pc with Android and iOS phones or with other computers to anywhere in the world over the internet

Using Remote Desktop or remote file access is not a bad thing to access your computer anywhere but there is a one thing annoying that you have to turn on your computer after leaving your house/office and then using a computer anywhere from the world. The other drawback is it consumes more and more power. Then you must be thinking that what’s other methods are there instead of accessing your PC via remote desktop?

The good news is that you can power on your PC anywhere anytime whenever you need to use it.

So, today we will discuss, “how to remotely turn on your pc over the internet”

Windows gives us an advantage of “Wake-on-LAN”. With “Wake-on-LAN”, you just send some magic packets that will turn on your PC over the internet.

How to Configure Wake-On-LAN on Windows

To make this work, you’ll first have to set up Wake-On-LAN normally. You’ll typically find this setting in a computer’s BIOS or UEFI settings. In your PC’s settings, ensure the Wake-On-LAN option is enabled.

To turn on your computer remotely, you need to configure Wake-on-LAN. The settings is available in the computer’s BIOS or UEFI Settings. In your PC you have to ensure that the Wake-On-LAN option is enabled.

If you do not find the Wake-On-LAN option in BIOS or UEFI, then check your PC motherboard’s manual whether it supports Wake-On-LAN or not

You may also have to enable this option from within Windows, whether there’s a WoL option in your BIOS or not. Open the Windows Device Manager, locate your network device in the list, right-click it, and select Properties. Click the Advanced tab, locate “Wake on magic packet” in the list, and enable it.

You can also enable it once you have been Logged in to Windows, you have to search for WOL option in your BIOS or not.

For this,

  • Right click on My Computer Select Properties
  • Then Device Manager
  • Click on the Network Adapter
  • Right click on your network device (An Ethernet LAN Card or a WIFI LAN Card)
  • Select properties
  • Go to Advance and scroll down to select “Wake on Magic Packets” and enable it.

There is a possibility that Wake-on-LAN may not work on your PC using fast startup mode in Windows 8 and 10. In such situation, you should disable Fast Startup.

“Subnet Directed Broadcast” is used to wake up a computer on LAN, if you don’t understand the “Subnet Directed Broadcast” then let’s discuss it

Wake-On-LAN uses UDP. Many utilities use ports 7 or 9, but here, you can use any port of your own choice. You will have to forward a UDP port to all the IP addresses behind your router.

You cannot forward a UDP port to a specific IP address.

The Wake-on-LAN packet will be sent to every device attached to a router. When the information will match with the WOL packets on the specific device on the network, the remote PC will wake up. This is what we call it “Subnet Directed Broadcast.”

To do this, you’ll need to forward the port to the “broadcast address,” which will broadcast the packet to all computers on a network. The broadcast address is *.*.*.255. For example, if your PC has the IP address 192.168.1.123, you’d enter 192.168.1.255 as the broadcast address. If your PC has the IP address 10.0.0.123, you’d enter 10.0.0.255 as the broadcast address.

For this purpose, you need to forward the port to the broadcast address. In simple ways, that forwarding port will broadcast the packet to all the computer attached to that network.

For example,

The broadcast address for class C IP Addresses may be *.*.*.255 (provided that your IP address is not subnetted)

Let’s say an IP Address on your computer is: 192.168.1.123

Then the broadcast ID will 192.168.1.255 because 192.168.1.0 is your network ID and 255 are the total no. of computers/nodes/devices attached to the network.

If your IP Address is 100.0.0.120 then you’ll have to enter 100.0.0.255 as the broadcast address.

Let’s configure the router with port forwarding and broadcast IP.

What if your PC is attached to a router with the dynamic DNS server, and your IP changes every time!

No issue,

Still, you will send wake-on-LAN packets router’s dynamic DNS hostname that will find a way to reach your computer.

But how?

See the Screenshot below:

Next step is to send magic packets (Wake_on-LAN) to remotely turn on your PC over the internet.

You may find a various kind of software tools, online websites which offer a variety of Wake-On-LAN utilities for every type of platform such as Depicus.

Microsoft’other Wake-On-LAN software for Windows 10 and 8 are:

You can also use graphical Wake-On-LAN Windows program which is a web-based interface and sends magic packets through a web browser.

You may also have an option to install Wake-on-LAN Android app for android mobiles to turn on pc remotely with android mobiles.

Here’s Wake-on-LAN iOS app for iPhones (to turn on PC with iPhone) or any iOS device to send magic packets to remotely turn on your pc over the internet

In order to use any of the above utilities, you will have to enter the following four bits.

IP Address or Domain Name: Enter the WAN IP Address of your router’s or a dynamic DNS address (e.g., you.ddns.com)

Subnet Mask: Enter the appropriate subnet mask of your computer attached behind the router.

MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the network interface listening for the Wake-On-LAN packet.

Port Number: Enter the UDP port number.

The technique works with the correct information, if everything is configured precisely, your PC will wake up.

Let’s make all the Wake-On-LAN process easier with remote access software like TeamViewer, Remote Utilities and Parallels Access and UltraVNC. So, you can skip such a tedious workload and use a remote access software to remotely turn on your PC over the internet.

In our example, for understanding, we will use Team Viewer to remotely turn on your PC over the internet.

You’ll find these options under Extras > Options in TeamViewer. Click the Configure button next to Wake-on-LAN to set them up.

Let’s start!

  • For this, open TeamViewer and go to Extras and click on Options
  • Then in General find the Network settings
  • To Wake on LAN and click on the configure button

TeamViewer will send the Wake-on-LAN information to the one PC running TeamViewer, and that PC can send the Wake-on-LAN packets from within the network. You won’t have to set up port-forwarding, use third-party tools, or worry about the remote IP address. You will still have to enable Wake-on-LAN in the BIOS and device manager, however.

Now let’s understand the entire TeamViewer process of Wake-On-LAN,

Let’s say you have two different computers at a LAN network or at home. One PC is turned off and is named as “Target Computer” with teamviewer installed and only one PC is powered on and have running TeamViewer application. Then you can easily wake the other Target Computer with the TeamViewer on one condition, if you have set up TeamViewer app correctly.

Let’s say you have to access the target computer with your mobile phone having an installed version of TeamViewer.

Teamviewer Enable Wake On Lan

The TeamViewer will send a wake up signal to the TeamViewer network, it will go through firewall (if is used then we have to allow here also) then the wake up signal will go to the turned on computer, the turned on computer will then send a wake up on LAN signal to the turned off Target computer to turn on remotely. As shown in figure below.

You can also configure “Public IP address” in TeamViewer for the purpose of Wake-on-LAN. This Public IP Address will initiate a wake up on LAN packet from the TeamViewer application, even all the remote devices/PCs are turned off.

You will have to configure the port forwarding process that the computer is running TeamViewer and is accessible publically.

The networking bits can be a bit complicated, especially if your router gets in your way and prevents you from changing the settings you need. A third-party router firmware may be more helpful—in fact, DD-WRT even provides an integrated way to wake your PCs on a schedule by sending Wake-on-LAN packets.

You can face issues while entering the network bits, maybe your router won’t allow you to change your settings. In such situation, you can change your router firmware by a third-party organization.

There is a DD-WRT service that provides the facility to remotely turn on your PC over the internet

Well, this is all about how you can remotely turn on your PC over the internet, hopefully, you enjoyed it.

  • 4Test that WOL works within the LAN
  • 5WOL Methods

[edit]Introduction

Wake-On-LAN (WOL) provides the ability to wake a slept/suspended, hibernating, or shut down computer, but the support for this (especially the latter) is dependent upon the hardware and BIOS/UEFI settings. Most modern computers have the WOL feature - it might be listed under PME (Power Management Events).

Reasons to use WOL with DD-WRT:

  • You do not want a computer on all the time, yet you want to use it from outside your home or office, and there is a DD-WRT-enabled device as the Internet gateway for that computer, powered on all the time.
  • The computer is a media server that auto-sleeps, but you want it to wake automatically for file access.

[edit]Preparation

You will need:

  1. A PC which supports WOL. Most modern PC's can be set-up this way.
  2. Administrative access to the computer you want to sleep/wake-up.
  3. The WOL computer should have a static IP address, one manually assigned or through static DHCP. In the example below, we assume your router LAN is 192.168.1.x (the default) and the static IP WOL computer is 192.168.1.254.
  4. Ideally, a second PC to test the WOL abilities of the first one. You can also use the DD-WRT device's Web Interface to send test packets, in place of a second PC.

[edit]Enable WOL on the Computer

  1. On the LAN adapter of the computer (physical ethernet adapter and/or wireless, given BIOS support), choose Properties/Configure.
  2. Power Management tab (far right). Check the second and third boxes to enable WOL. Press OK until you are back at Network Connections. Now the computer can normally be started from Hibernate, Standby, or PowerOff modes via a special management packet.
  3. Get ready to test your set-up by using a utility like WOL Magic Packet Sender http://magicpacket.free.fr/ (free). Install it on both the computer you are using and a second PC on the same physical LAN.
  4. On the WOL computer, open WOL Magic Packet and on the Receive tab, click the green Start button.
  5. On the second computer, open WOL Magic Packet and on the Send tab, put in:
    1. IP Address of WOL computer for Host Name
    2. 0.0.0.0 for Subnet Mask (select from drop-down)
    3. MAC address of LAN adapter on WOL computer. Use the command 'ipconfig /all' if you don't know what this is.
  6. Click the green Send button. The WOL computer should respond with a pop-up box showing a packet was received.

Repeat the previous steps and go over the trouble-shooting tips until they work before proceeding.

[edit]Test that WOL works within the LAN

Hibernate, Standby, and Power-off the WOL computer, while clicking Send on the second computer, to test each mode to make sure WOL is working.

Once this step is working, you can go on to making WOL work when you are outside your LAN, such as at a cafe or another remote location.

[edit]Troubleshooting

Teamviewer wake on lan instructions

Wake On LAN is usually disabled by default in most PCs. This feature, if optional, must be enabled in your BIOS otherwise WOL isn't going to work. Consult your motherboard's manual and BIOS screen (DEL at startup, usually). If you don't see the WakeOn-type options in your BIOS, usually somewhere in Power Management, your motherboard may not support WOL.

[edit]WOL Methods

[edit]WOL through Telnet/SSH

Note: This is the preferred method to send WOL magic packets remotely.

If you have local or remote Telnet/SSH access to your router, you can wake up a machine on the LAN by using the following command:

Note that the full path to '/usr/sbin/wol' is important. Simply 'wol' will not work.

Substitute AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF with the actual MAC address of the computer which you wish to boot remotely. Likewise, replace 192.168.1.255 with the actual broadcast address of the network (192.168.1.255 is the broadcast address when the machine has an IP of 192.168.1.x and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0). Replace 'PP' with the port number your machine listens on (usually 7 or 9).

[edit]Remote Wake On LAN via Port Forwarding

To remotely wake up a computer over the Internet using Wake On LAN- follow these instructions:

1 - Create a port forward rule on the Web Interface (Applications & Gaming -> Port Range Forward) to the chosen ip:

  • Here, 9 is the default, but you can use any port number so long as your client wake-up application can talk to a port other than 9. Most WOL services will use either UDP port 7 or 9.
  • 192.168.1.254 is just an IP address in your LAN's subnet; it can be any IP, as long as it is not assigned to any device on your network.

2 - Add a static ARP entry by typing the following line into the Administration -> Commands section of the Web Interface and then saving with Save Startup.

  • Do not change the FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF MAC address; this is a special MAC address used when broadcasting. WOL magic packets are constructed using the MAC address of the target computer, but should be and almost always are sent via broadcast; the MAC address used here controls with how the packet is sent, not how it is formed.
  • The 192.168.1.254 IP address should correspond with the IP address you used in the previous step. Again, this IP should be in your LAN's subnet, and you must not assign this IP address to any actual device on your network.
  • Explanation/rationale for this setup: Normally, WOL magic packets are sent to a special broadcast IP--to the final .255 in a subnet or to 255.255.255.255. Since port-forwarding to these special dedicated broadcast IPs does not work, what we need to do is create our own broadcast IP by taking an unused IP and assigning it a broadcast MAC and then port-forward to that.
  • As an optional alternative, instead of arp, you can use ip neigh (which does the exact same thing as arp). Support for ip neigh was removed from DD-WRT starting with build 17650, and arp is unavailable in DD-WRT builds older than 5672.

3 - Reboot the router, or execute the startup commands manually.

  • To wake your computer from the internet using the DD-WRT device DynDNS name (or if you know it, the public IP of the router), try one of the following services;
Teamviewer 11 Wake On Lan
  1. Mestrona's online WOL. You need to forward port 9 udp in step one, to use this service.
  2. Wake-On-LAN Online. It works both on ports 7 and 9 and allows WOL by a single URL of the form: http://mobile.wakeonlan.me/?ip=HOSTNAME&mac=MACADDRESS. It also allows for scheduled wakeup over the internet.
  3. To use the WOL Magic Packet application from a second PC:
    1. Host Name: DynDNS name of your DD-WRT device.
    2. Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255
    3. MAC Address: WOL computer MAC address, not the DD-WRT MAC.
    4. Click the green Send button.

[edit]Automatic Wake-On-LAN Daemon

The Automatic WOL daemon will send out a periodic wake on lan packet at the intervals you specify. This may be useful to keep a system online most of the time even if it is turned off. (eg: A Media Center PC).

For Interval you can enter a value in seconds as low as 15 seconds and as high as 86400 seconds (1 day).Host name should be the broadcast address for your LAN. eg: 255.255.255.255 or 192.168.1.255.SecureON Password is computers that have a BIOS feature that secures the WOL function. If you do not have a BIOS that requires this form of password then you can leave the box blank or type in 00-00-00-00-00-00.MAC Address(es) should contain the MAC address of the networked machines you want a WOL to be sent to on your LAN.

The packets generated by the WOL daemon are sent to UDP port 40000. You likely will not need to worry about this unless the system you are attempting to send the WOL packet is on another subnet or you are trying to monitor the packets.

Teamviewer Manual Wake On Lan

note: the UI says that the Interval accepts a range of 1-86400 seconds but it will only send out a WOL packet at a minimum of 15 second intervals. All values below 15 are accepted but the interval will still be every 15 seconds.

A useful tool for watching the WOL packets on a Windows computer is available at www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan (use port 40000 when monitoring) Or you can use a more generic protocol analyzer tool like Wireshark.
