Situation: I have a NUC (Model:NUC8BEB, Version:J72693-305) on the back of an office conference room tv. I am curious to know if any solution have been found to allow Wake On LAN over WiFi. The adapter properties clearly show that it is an available feature, but I have not figured out a way to do it yet. Google searches claim that it is impossible unless it is wired. Any thoughts?

You should be able to, as long as both the network adapter and BIOS support WoL.

 

See here for a step-by-step guide.

You entirely missed that OP was talking about WoL-over-WiFi.

Hand, n. A singular instrument worn at the end of the human arm and commonly thrust into somebody’s pocket.

No.

 

The setup is still the same, especially for NUCs that support it with a compatible wireless adapter. The only other things that might need to be done are to enable "Allow magic packet to wake computer", disable fast startup and use standby mode (may not work if shut down).

 

WoWLAN might not work as well as WoL, I'll admit.
