Good day,
Is it possible to wake up a powered off PC (connected to a power source and the internet), from an external network on a Macbook Pro or iPhone 5?
The reason I ask for this specific request is because I travel for work and take my Macbook Pro and iPhone 5 with me on the trips. I have a PC back home (which is my primary computer). I often remote into that PC with my Macbook without a problem. But, from time to time, my power will go out, especially in the summer with all of the storms, and I need to wake my computer back up.
Can this be done externally on either of the devices I have? What do you guys recommend? I'm willing to play around with my router settings if need be (so long as it doesn't compromise my security).
P.S. I have enabled WOL on my PC through both the BIOS and System Properties in the OS.
Your help and advice is greatly appreciated,
Speck
