Enable Wake on LAN on Asus motherboard

Question

I would like to enable Wake on LAN on my Asus A88X-gaming PC. It receives the WOL packets, but my PC doesn't power on. Must I change some BIOS settings?

Try to find "Network Stack" in BIOS and enable that. That enable me to WOL from shot down status with a Z390 board. Windows Fast startup must be disabled to wake up from shut down status.

In addition to activating Wake on LAN and Power on by PME/PCIe in BIOS, you might need to active WoL in the Windows driver - some drivers have the bad habit of deactivating WoL on shutdown unless you explicitly turn it on.

If WoL only works once when powering on the machine from hard off, but not from soft off after being shut down, then it's the driver. As a quick check for the problem, watch the LAN port's link/traffic LED on powering down - it needs to remain lit/flickering.
