But for external access to our devices, it’s better to have a public address. If it looks like 10.x.x.x, .x or 172.16.x.x to 172.31.x.x then you have what is known as an RFC-1918 IP address (often referred to as private addresses). But before we start, there’s something we should check…Ĭheck the WAN IP address of your router. We want to start configuring the devices for wake on wan. Try these apps. You should observe the target PC powering up almost instantly upon hitting enter. I’m not sure, but when one uses wake on lan, only the MAC address is involved. Try also 7 and 22 if 9 does not work.īut adding an IP should not be absolutely necessary.

Just enter your NAS’ local IP and MAC address,Īlso add the local port. From a smartphone: I used DS Finder and Wake Up by Cenito.From a PC: I used Aquila Tech WakeOnLan.You can find it in CMD > ipconfig /all or in your router.įirst, you can test the “wake on lan” tool of your router.


It is better to give static IP’s to your computers inside your LAN, except perhaps for laptops.Īlso, still in the Synology DSM control panel, enable Wake on Lan.Ĭollect your MAC address. I set it up inside the Synology DSM control panel. Give a Static IP for your NAS inside your LAN. Wake on Wan will not work if Wake on Lan doesn’t work, so start by setting your LAN properly.
