Hi,

I have a Dell Inspiron 530 and I cannot get WOL to work.

I have installed a new TP-LINK TG-3468 Network Card, which supports WOL.
Remote Wake Up is enabled in the BIOS, as are the usual required settings on the Network Card properties.

However whenever I hibernate, sleep, or shutdown my PC, the lights switch off on the Network Card so it is no longer receiving a connection.

Running Win8.1 - have also disabled Fast Startup

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

The Windows 8 drivers from tp-link may help, I can't seem to find any Windows 8.1 specific drivers from tp-link.

Be sure and enable the WOL/magic packet settings via the power management tab.
