To boot up from a Wake-on-LAN signal, the motherboard and the network adapter of a PC must be compatible with this feature. To 'wake up' your computer, you need to log in to the Keenetic device web interface or open the Keenetic mobile app, select the PC in a list of home network devices and click the 'Wake on LAN' button. In some Wi-Fi devices (wireless adapter, smart TV) this technology is called WoWLAN (Wake on Wireless LAN). The computer must be in sleep mode, and it must have Wake-on-LAN enabled beforehand. A practical use case might be, for example, when you are in the office, you can remotely turn on your home PC. Wake-on-LAN is a special option of the PC's boot firmware - BIOS or, on modern systems, UEFI, that allows you to power on the computer by sending a special signal (a so-called 'magic' packet) to that computer over the local network.

With a Keenetic router, it's possible to remotely turn on home network computers via the web GUI or a mobile app by exploiting the Wake-on-LAN (WOL) technology.
