Wake On LAN Ex

Wake On LAN Ex is an application designed to be used with computers that contain network cards which are set to turn on when a “magic packet” is received. Running Wake On LAN Ex, entering the required details, and hitting Send will cause the WOL-enabled computer to turn itself on and boot as normal.


Depending on its WOL abilities, the destination computer can be sleeping, hibernating, or entirely off and still be able to react to a Wake-On-LAN event. WoLEX also supports shutting down, restarting, logging-off, and hibernating the remote computer, as well as sending it administrator messages.

WoLEX works with all versions of Windows. Linux is supported via Mono.
