Microsoft Windows 11

Hello,

I fail to enable wake on lan on this laptop. So far I tried three different USB-Lan Adapter.

 

1. ThinkPad USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter

2. uni USB C auf Ethernet Adapter (2.5GB)
3. Baseus USB C Docking Station 13 in 1

The first two can be configured in the adapter energy settings to wake the pc. Fastboot is disabeld in windows.

The Bios does not have options to enable wake up from usb device (also no power on if ac is connected).

Also there is no option in the bios to disable fastboot.

It is not an network environment issue. I can wake an different pc when connected to the lan cable i used for testing.

 

Can it be this laptop does not support wake on lan / wake on usb device?

As an alternative i was looking into lan controllabe power plugs but for these to work the laptop should power on if ac power is powered on. The bios does not have an switch for this.
