Wake up other computers with WOL magic packets

Image from store

Description from store

Send Wake-On-LAN (WOL) magic packets to other devices on your local network to wake them up!

Note: This will not work across the internet (because that's how the WOL system works), and you have to configure your other computer properly first. Please search Google for assistance.

Scott Wilson 2024-06-26: Rock on! Simple with great instructions.
Michelle Zulli 2023-04-11: Still working great. Does what it says and nothing more. Much appreciated.
Michail Lombardeas 2020-11-02: In my case it starts the computer but does not wake it up from sleep
Beckman Ron 2020-07-09: You can't top perfection, only tie it! RB July 2020
Daniel Anderson III 2020-03-09: Works perfectly as expected...able to add my HP Xeon workstation and wake it up from Chromebook and control via VNC, Chrome Remote Desktop, Teamviewer, etc... Love that i can save multiple computer as well
Alan Peck 2018-12-20: Gets the job done and is only app of its type in Chrome Store. User interface not very elegant and not clear how to save multiple targets.
Henry Pham 2018-12-10: It works! Yes the UI isn't great and is difficult to read. I haven't used it with more than one PC though. I first tried the Android app Wake On Lan but could not get that to work on a Chromebook as I could on my Pixel phone.
D AB 2018-05-18: It works, in that it does send a WOL packet and the remote computer does wake up. However, the UI is not intuitive at all - it's basically impossible to use. I haven't been able to add more than one MAC address without it overwriting the other one. Until this is fixed I won't use it. Ideally, in future, I suggest that you show buttons for each computer that is added. That way you just point and click, without selecting from a drop down list. There are plenty of command-line and app alternatives for WOL, but I did like the idea of it as a Chrome app. Pity.
Steven Pannell 2017-12-20: The UI is certainly a challenge. However, it is working just fine, even over the internet. Just be sure to configure your router correctly for incoming connections over UDP.
Jeremy Johnson 2017-10-03: Is there no way to save?
Paul Brookes 2017-08-03: Works great after some minor fiddling :-)
Roger Ewing 2017-05-17: I find it pretty frustrating. I try adding a client to use it on, and get it to save. Finally succeeded. Then I click on Add, and it overwrites the first one. Not the least bit intuitive.
Brian Squadroni 2017-03-18: Worked straight out of the gate for my W7 PC. I used the default port of 40000. Great piece of code so I can wake my PC and then remote to it with Chrome Remote Desktop.
Anonymous 2016-12-24: Nice! It worked for me too. A nice touch would be an option to change the theme to black on white. And as Rob says below, an option to save more than one MAC address. Cheers!
Rob Yaggie 2016-12-19: It worked for me after I figured out how to configure it. My build uses a MSI 970 Gaming board and Windows 10. I found a guide online to help with the windows settings and in this app I had to add my IP address, MAC address and a port of 9. I left everything else alone (i.e. defaults or ignored additional fields). I like that it saves my input so I can launch and click send again next time. Thanks Mike! Suggestions: 1) I have a second machine to wake up. It would be nice if the config were done on a second screen and supported multiple configs. Then the main screen could support multiple 'send' buttons/links. 2) I see you made a comment that ports 0,7,9, and 40000 are common. It would be helpful to point more of that out in the setup instructions for users guessing by trial and error. Nice app!
Mark Gutel 2016-04-09: Thanks for this. I did have to take Gary Clark's advice, in another review, and set the IP at 255.255.255.255, port 9, and blank out the SecureOn space to get it to work.
Alfie Original 2015-10-16: It just works with IP 255.255.255.255 and your MAC address, port 9 in most cases. Probably nothing in SecureOn.
Gary Clark 2015-09-30: I do not know anything about this but it did not work for me with default, it did work with nothing in the SecureOn space and tab through this also used 255.255.255.255 on the IP/Hostname and port 9. and of course the computer you wish to turn on MAC address. I got these setting from the wakeonlan in Linux. Others are probably more knowledgeable than I am but if not hope this helps, seems to be a great little app.
