What is Wake-on-LAN Packet Sniffer?

Wake-on-LAN Packet Sniffer

Wake-on-LAN Packet Sniffer is your go-to tool for managing WoL commands. It helps you check if this feature is active on your network and which machines can be powered up remotely. Now, why would you need this? Well, sometimes your PC might be too far away or you just have too many computers to turn on by hand. This handy tool connects to your network and looks for any packets that are sent out specifically to wake up machines.

How Does Wake-on-LAN Work?

The setup for this system is pretty straightforward. You'll need a Wake-on-LAN-compatible motherboard with the feature turned on, another device to send the packets, and of course, a network where all these devices hang out. Basically, you send packets from one device—like your laptop or phone—to a specific IP address. When the target machine receives it successfully, it wakes up!

Troubleshooting with the Packet Sniffer

If you've got everything set up but those machines still won't wake up, don't worry! The Wake-on-LAN Packet Sniffer can help you figure out what's going wrong. It checks if any packets are being sent at all, which could tell you if there's an issue with your network or something else entirely.
