Starting the Computer—Wake on LAN
Wake on LAN is a function that allows a computer in the local
network to be started when it is accessed from the Internet.
For instance, you can access a computer using remote main-
tenance software, without wasting electricity by keeping the
computer switched on permanently.
The FRITZ!Box supports Wake on LAN both for IPv4 and for
IPv6 connections.
Requirements:
• The computer must support Wake on LAN.
• The computer must be connected with the FRITZ!Box via
network cable or via a FRITZ!Powerline device.
• For access from the Internet, the computer must be in
standby operation.
There are two ways to start the computer:
• The “Start Computer” button
Using this button you can start the computer every time
it is accessed from the Internet.
• Starting automatically
With the “Start this computer automatically as soon as it
is accessed from the Internet” option the computer is
started automatically when it is accessed from the Inter-
net.
