WOL iOS Project

1.7k Views Asked by At

There are free projects/examples of wol (wake on LAN) for iOS?

I've found this one [openwol][1] but it's old and has no signs of recents updates.

Also I've been digging on it and it's not working as expected, the main purpose of it is wake a computer but it's not working. I've spent some time on it and still no work.

Maybe there are other examples or someone else may join on me and solve/update this code to work?

Wake-on-LAN generally doesn't work for machines on wireless networks, as the wireless hardware is typically powered down when the machine is off or asleep -- it's usually only supported for wired Ethernet. As such, wake-on-LAN is unlikely to give acceptable results on an iOS device, as it'll only work for some specific network configurations (i.e, networks where the wireless segment is bridged to a wired segment that the target system is connected to).
