WOL is intermittent

[Zack_Friedman]

I have been experimenting lately with wake on LAN, specifically, I used IFTTT and an android application called Automatic Premium to program my Google Home Mini to send a WOL magic packet to my computer when I say "Hey Google, turn on my computer." Initially it worked great. The computer boots right up and the Google assistant even replies with "Firing it up" but I've noticed that after my computer is left off for a significant amount of time, say, overnight, the system will not power up from the magic packet. I've run some packet sniffing to verify that the magic packet is in fact being broadcast on my network and it is, ruling out the router and the back end programming. I'm at my wits end in Google searches trying to figure out why the process works immediately after shutdown but not a few hours after shutdown. The BIOS is set to have WOL enabled and within Windows, my network adapter is configured to allow WOL with a magic packet. Has anyone had a similar experience? I'm sort of a networking noob so I wouldn't be surprised if there's something simple that I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated,

 

thanks in advance.
