With the Wake On Lan application for Android devices, you can control the power on and off of computers connected to the same WiFi network as your phone.

Turn on your computer remotely with this app

The Wake On Lan app's name is based on the protocol of the same name, usually abbreviated as WoL, which is implemented on almost all modern motherboards using an Ethernet controller. No external cable is required for this. The most useful aspect of this app is that it can remotely turn on any computer connected to the same network as our Android phone.

Turn on a computer remotely using the WoL protocol

The main function of this app is that any computer can be activated at any time without having to turn it on all the time. This helps to save energy and the lifespan of the PC components could be extended.

WoL for Android is easy to use. First you just need to find the computer on your network. Then you can add it to the list of computers to manage and easily apply all the actions available from the control panel.

In other words, if you need to access a PC to work on it via a virtual desktop, e.g. B. to access a previously configured server, you can do that with this app.

This protocol works not only when your PC is locked, but also when it is in sleep mode or even when the device is turned off. However, to use this feature, you must configure the computer's BIOS to allow it to be turned on remotely.
