I have not tried, but this is possible, check Wake on Wireless LAN (WoWLAN) in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN This is probably a bit more complicated than WOL (hardware must be compatible with WoWLAN) Actually, everything is always easier and more reliable if you can be wired (possibly with CPL). So I keep my LAN wired at home because I can without problem. In my opinion, WOL on a laptop is less critical, because it is usually a device you take with you, and it usually gets turned on and off on a daily basis. But there is no problem to WOL a laptop. I agree most people now buy laptops instead of desktops. Anyway, I always gave around me the advice to get a NetTop instead of a Laptop if you don't really want to take it outside. With a laptop, you pay for a fragile device, with poor quality small screen. I far more prefer Asrock NetTops, have you checked them ? In my opinion, Laptops will be more and more replaced by smartphones and tablets for outside use. Connected inside the house, you usually don't want the poor screen of your laptop, and have a separate TV or a LCD computer screen. I guess laptops may be replaced by Tablets and smartphones for mobility, and by NetTops at home. -- nicolas75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicolas75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89143 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
