Using the computer Wired Network Using the WOL (Wake On LAN) function is a function that activates the system from Sleep mode when a signal (such as a ping or magic packet command) arrives over the network (wired LAN). 1 1 Click Charms menu on the Desktop > Settings > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center and click on Change adapter settings in the left menu pane. 2 2 Right-click on the Wired Ethernet Connection and select Properties. 3 3 Click Configure > Power Management tab. Select Allow this device to wake the computer, then click OK. Restart the system. -If the system wakes up from Sleep mode even though there is no received signal, use the system after disabling the function. -The LAN LED may not be turned off if System is shoutdown without disabling the WOL (Wake on LAN) option. -Connecting a wired LAN while using a wireless LAN may not activate the function. Set the Wireless LAN to Disable to use the function. - feature may not work while using Hybrid power saving feature. Hybrid sleep mode can be disabled from Power Options under Control Panel. For Windows 8, Wake On LAN is not supported by Ping. When connected to a 100Mbps/1Gbps wired LAN and the computer exits Sleep/hibernation mode, a message appears informing you of a connection to a 10Mbps/100Mbps wired LAN. This happens because when the computer exits standby/hibernate mode, restoring the network takes about 3 seconds. When the network is restored, it operates at 100Mbps/1Gbps. When system is running on battery, some time it may take a few second extra after inserting LAN cable to be able to connect to internet. This symptom happen as a result of power saving feature to reduce battery consumption. When system is running on battery, the Wired LAN speed is decreased automatically to reduce battery consumption. In such case, a 1Gbps /100Mbps LAN would function at 100Mbps/10Mbps speed.
