Is there such a thing that I can stick into a USB port in my PC, connect to with my phone and then wake my PC using my phone. Enabling wake over USB of course

If your PC and your smartphone are on the same network there is an easier solution. You can activate "wake on lan" in your BIOS and simply use one of these "WOL wake on lan" apps to turn on your PC.

Is this possible with my motherboards onboard network adapter? (Killer Ethernet)
