Wake on LAN is very useful functionality if your hardware supports it. Here is a good tutorial on the steps required to enable WOL on a device. This typically needs to be enabled in the BIOS as well as on the network interface inside the operating system.  https://www.lifewire.com/wake-on-lan-4149800
