Step 5. Configure Wake on LAN in TeamViewer

Now you can configure the WoL settings inside TeamViewer. Open the application settings. Under the Device menu, go to Network, click Wake-on-LAN, click "Other TeamViewer within your local network", enter the TeamViewer ID of the device waking up the remote computer, click "Add...", and confirm by clicking "OK".

Step 6. Wake the Computer Remotely

After configuration, open your TeamViewer device list. Locate the offline computer and select the option to wake it. TeamViewer will send a magic packet through the network and start the remote computer. This method works on different systems, including TeamViewer Wake on LAN Mac, although Mac devices typically only wake from sleep mode rather than from a full shutdown.

If the device does not wake up, the issue may relate to network configuration, router settings, or incorrect BIOS settings. Many users searching for Wake on LAN not working run into these common problems.

How to Set Up & Use Chrome Remote Desktop: Complete Beginner's Guide | DeskIn Japan

This article walks through the basic setup and features of Chrome Remote Desktop (CRD), Google's free remote access tool — explained clearly for first-time users.

CRD is free, simple to configure, and integrates smoothly with your existing Google account and Chrome browser. It works across Windows, Mac, and smartphones, making it easy to get started with remote access from virtually any device.

For everyday personal use and one-off remote support sessions, it's an excellent option — though its features are limited to "Remote Access" and "Remote Support." For more advanced requirements — 4K display quality, low latency, or stable connections inside Japanese corporate networks — a professional-grade tool like DeskIn is worth considering.

Introduction

What Is Chrome Remote Desktop?

Chrome Remote Desktop (CRD) is a free remote access tool developed by Google. All you need is the Chrome browser and a Google account to remotely control another PC over the internet, from anywhere. No additional hardware is required, making it one of the most accessible ways to get started with remote desktop access.

Why Remote Desktop Is Useful in Japan

Hybrid work has become a fixture across Japan's working culture. Many companies — especially in Tokyo and other major cities — now expect employees to split their time between the office and home. Students, too, often find themselves needing access to files or software left behind on a home PC. And for those who have just joined the workforce as shinshakajin (新社会人 — literally "new members of society," the term for fresh graduates entering their first job, typically in April when Japan's fiscal and academic year begins), juggling unfamiliar tools across multiple environments can be genuinely stressful. Chrome Remote Desktop offers a practical, low-barrier solution for all of these situations.

Which One Is Better, Chrome Remote Desktop Or Microsoft Remote Desktop?

Chrome Remote Desktop's Two Core Features

Remote Access — Connect to Your Own Devices, Anytime

The "Remote Access" feature lets you connect to your home or office PC from any location, at any time. Once the host machine is configured, you can control it remotely as long as it's powered on — even if no one is sitting in front of it. This is ideal for pulling up a file you left on your home PC while you're at school or the office, or for using your full desktop environment from a laptop while you're out.

Remote Support — Temporary Screen Sharing for Troubleshooting

The "Remote Support" feature is built for one-off, temporary sessions. By sharing a connection code, you can let someone else view or control your screen — or do the same for them — without exchanging account credentials. It's a clean and simple way to help a classmate, colleague, or family member work through a technical issue remotely.

Chrome Remote Desktop is designed specifically around these two functions. That focused scope makes it particularly easy to pick up, even if you've never used a remote desktop tool before.

What You'll Need Before Getting Started

A Google Account

A Google account is required. If you don't already have one, register before you begin. If you're already using Gmail or Google Drive, that same account will work here.

Google Chrome Browser

CRD runs inside the Chrome browser, so Chrome needs to be installed on both the host (the PC you want to access remotely) and the client (the device you're connecting from). Chrome can be installed alongside any other browser without conflict.

A Stable Internet Connection

Remote desktop transmits live screen data over the internet, so a reliable connection on both ends matters. If your Wi-Fi is inconsistent, a wired connection will generally produce a much smoother experience.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Setting Up the Host PC (the Computer You Want to Control)

Start by configuring Chrome Remote Desktop on the machine you'll be accessing remotely.

Open Google Chrome and navigate to the Chrome Remote Desktop page.
Follow the on-screen prompts to add the extension and complete the installation.

Chrome Remote Desktop addition and installation procedure

Enable "Remote Access" and follow the steps to set a PIN code of at least six digits.
Once setup is complete, this PC will appear in your list of remotely accessible devices.

Connecting from the Client Device (the Device You're Using to Connect)

Next, prepare the device you'll be connecting from.

Log into Chrome with the same Google account and open the Chrome Remote Desktop page.
Select the host PC from your device list.

Chrome Remote Desktop device connection screen

If connecting from a smartphone or tablet, download the dedicated iOS or Android app and select your target PC from within the app.

Authenticating with Your PIN Code

After selecting the host PC, you'll be prompted to enter your PIN to verify the connection.

Enter the PIN you created during setup on the client device.
Once authenticated, the host PC's screen will appear on your device and you'll be able to control it with your mouse and keyboard.
The connection is encrypted and can be ended at any time.

Tips for Getting More Out of CRD

Make the Most of Keyboard Shortcuts

Using keyboard shortcuts deliberately can make a real difference to your efficiency in a remote session. This is especially worth thinking about if you're switching between Windows and Mac, where key behaviour differs — particularly around:

The difference between the Ctrl and Cmd keys
Full-screen toggling and window switching

Familiarising yourself with these basics in advance will help things feel more natural. If shortcuts are being captured by your local device instead of reaching the remote machine, check the settings for an option like "Send all keyboard input to remote" — this is usually the fix.

Using CRD on Mobile: What to Expect

The mobile experience differs quite a bit from working on a desktop. Chrome Remote Desktop's mobile app is built around touch controls:

Swipe to move the mouse cursor
Pinch to zoom in or out
Toolbar at the bottom of the screen to access the keyboard and menu

Precise input — longer text entry, drag-and-drop, clicking small targets — is slower and more effortful on mobile than on a PC. In practice, mobile access works best for quick checks and light tasks. For anything more involved, a laptop or desktop will serve you much better.

The Limitations of Chrome Remote Desktop

Simplicity Has Its Ceiling

Chrome Remote Desktop is, at its core, a tool built for "Remote Access" and "Remote Support" — nothing more. That focus is part of what makes it easy to use, but it also means that more specialised requirements hit a wall fast. If you need to transfer large files quickly, manage multiple users or devices, or keep detailed logs of remote sessions, you'll find CRD doesn't have the tools for the job.

Instability Inside Japanese Corporate Networks

Many Japanese companies — particularly larger organisations — maintain strict internal network environments managed by their IT departments (joho shisutemu-bu, 情報システム部). Firewalls, proxy settings, and restrictions on Google services are common, particularly in finance, manufacturing, and government-adjacent industries. In these environments, Chrome Remote Desktop connections can become unreliable, suffer significant lag, or fail entirely.

If you've started a new job in Japan and found that CRD simply won't connect from the office network, this is almost certainly why.

Network latency and firewall restrictions image

Dependency on Your Google Account

Because CRD is tied to a Google account, any disruption to that account — a forgotten password, an account lock, or a multi-factor authentication hiccup — directly affects your ability to access remote machines. For personal use this is manageable, but for anything business-critical, it's a meaningful single point of failure.

The Natural Next Step Up from CRD

Chrome Remote Desktop is a solid starting point, but as remote work needs become more regular and more demanding, many users find themselves running up against its limits. For those who need a more robust, feature-rich tool suited to daily professional use, DeskIn is the obvious step up.

Built to Handle Japan's Corporate Network Environments

DeskIn is engineered for stability in complex network setups — including the kind of strict firewalls and proxy configurations common in Japanese corporate IT infrastructure. Where CRD struggles in these environments, DeskIn is designed to maintain consistent, low-latency connections even under restrictive conditions.

Summary

Chrome Remote Desktop is a free, easy-to-use tool that works well for personal use, occasional remote access, and basic screen sharing. If you're new to remote desktop tools — or if you just need a quick, no-cost way to access your own PC remotely — CRD is a perfectly reasonable place to start.

For day-to-day professional use in Japan, however, particularly within corporate network environments or when you need reliable performance and high display quality, CRD will likely fall short. In those cases, transitioning to or pairing CRD with a tool like DeskIn will give you a remote setup that's genuinely fit for purpose.
