Which PCIe or USB WiFi Adapters Support Wake on LAN (WoL) for Desktop PCs?

I need a desktop wifi adapter that supports WOL (over wifi). Do you know of any card models that support this technology :?:

I found out that WOL is possible over wifi in new dell laptops, which is the technology itself.

Hello.
There is such a thing possible in the new configurations of DELL laptops, I personally tried, as for stationary, well, the WiFi network card would have to be able to connect to the motherboard with a cable to such a pin on the board, just like in external cable network cards (maybe there are I haven't met yet). But the easiest way on older computers is to actually do it through a WiFi router.
Regards.

Thank you in advance

Are you interested in the so-called WOWLAN, but from what I've skimmed, it only works on some newer laptops. In desktops (rather) not found.

Thank you for the quick reply.

What do you want to get? Why don't you just connect your computer to the router with a cable? If you want to wake up the computer via, for example, a phone, all you need is a wifi router and a computer connected by cable.

The problem is that I can't connect it with a cable. The computer is in front of the router but there is a wall between them.

By the way, you know how to run WOWLAN in intel wifi 4965AGN (laptop card; laptop: aristo vision i375; system: windows xp 32bit)

Drill in hand, 3 minutes of work and after the problem? People like to make life difficult for themselves...

Look on the manufacturer's website. If there's no mention of it, it's pretty much impossible.

As for me - ok. Dad has a different opinion...

I know from uncle google that it is possible. There is no mention of it on the Intel website

Not on the Intel website, because it does not depend on the network card, but on the (specific) laptop. The laptop may be able to maintain some kind of suspend (sleep?) state of the Wifi card while the rest of the hardware is turned off. Search on the laptop manufacturer's website.

Once I had the need to connect a stationary via WiFi to the Internet, but I did not have a WiFi card for it or any other USB card. Instead, I had an old Linksys router, which could be set in the "Client" mode - in this way, the WiFi card for this stationary became a router connected with a LAN cable. It worked. The only inconvenience is that the router needs a separate power supply, but ...

...I came across something like this on the net. The idea is the same, but instead of a router, we have an Arduino powered by 5V USB, and as you know, most laptops / stationary devices have an active USB even when the equipment is completely turned off (e.g. to charge the phone).

My additional question in this topic is: has anyone come across a ready-made device operating on this principle? This is: a WiFi client that plugs into a USB-powered LAN socket (sounds devilish, I know )

If not (and probably not) - this is a very interesting idea for a project to be made, which probably many people would benefit from.

Refreshing the thread, I propose a discussion on how and using what hardware (Arduino? Raspberry Pi? something else?) to make such a device while maintaining small dimensions. The universal Wake-On-LAN module over LAN over WiFi sounds interesting :)

by the way, greetings to forum users

Yes, there is something like this, e.g. the TP Link TL-MR3020 router.

The device can operate in three modes. In one of them (client) it connects to the router (access point) via wifi and forwards the signal via RJ-45 cable.

Remember to clone the mac address in the router (client), otherwise there will be problems.

In the configuration of the card (wifi or lan) in the power management tab, check "allow this device to wake up..." and uncheck "allow magic packet only..."
