How to set up Wake On Lan in DeskIn?

Notice:

1)To use Wake on Lan, there needs to be a device running DeskIn in the same LAN as the computer about to be woken up.Like,other computers, iPhone, iPad, Android devices (mobile phones, tablets) or family members' mobile phones,which can be used as auxiliary boot devices.

2)Linux devices do not support sending wake-up packets, and Mac and Linux devices do not support remote boot.

3)Devices that are in an abnormal shutdown state such as blue screen or crash do not support remote boot.

Note:

Because the MAC address and IP address correspondence table on the router has a certain valid time. After timeout, it will no longer be able to respond.If you want to be able to remotely wake on your computer even after it has been shut down for a long time, you need one last extra step——follow step 3.

Step 3. Perform ARP binding on the router

After the setup is complete, you can try to boot the device remotely.

Note: For mobile phones that assist in booting, you need to enable remote boot support in the DeskIn settings.
