XAV5501/XAVB5001/XAVB5501 Wake On Lan (WOL) support?
Hi everyone, I can't find anything in the powerline manuals or datasheets that indicates whether the XAV5501/XAVB5001/XAVB5501 powerline adapters support passing Wake on Lan (WOL) packets... Doe...
Ok so if you plug a Powerline adapter straight to your PC, WOL will not work. Why? Because my default when the PC is not in use it goes into standby. By connecting one to a router and the other to a modem neither goes into standby so WOL will work in that case.
